Online and In Person Classes
Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced player, Band Online has a class for you! All course materials are designed by World Champion and Master Teacher Donna Compton. Donna’s learning center is called Play Better Bridge. It is a separate website www.playbetterbridge.com
Explore Donna’s Vast Curriculum before you get started. She offers two types of classes: Workshop Courses and Seminars. The Workshop Courses are designed to give a broad overview of bidding, play, defense, and deductive reasoning. Seminars are shorter, single topic classes that highlight specific techniques pulled from the Workshops.
Now that you’ve familiarized yourself with Donna’s curriculum, there are 2 ways to take classes:
1. Live online classes – take classes in real time and ask questions just like you would in person. Check out the daily mini lessons while you’re at it. Register here.
2. Recorded classes with notes – classes you can buy and watch on your own time. You will also get a handout of notes. Read about the classes you recorded here. Buy them here.
To share the classes with you, Play Better Bridge uses a program called Sharefile. Also, each pre-recorded class comes with practice hands that you can replay in real-time in a program called Shark Bridge. Please see the Program Tutorials for how to use these easy programs.
