Attending a John Chatterton Clinic

John hosts regular one, two and sometimes three day Clinics all over Australia. When he is working away from home base he frequently allows a spare day or so on either side of a weekend Clinic to be available for private lessons.

We've found that people often want to spend some one-on-one time with John to consolidate what they have learned, and private lessons are a great way to do this.

A Clinic with John usually follows the format below.
