Why take a class from a CZT? (Part one)

With the wealth of information on the internet these days including YouTube videos, books you can download to your electronic device, DVDs, and printed books available in just a few days, why take a Zentangle(R) class from a CZT(TM) (Certified Zentangle Teacher)?

Have you ever tried learning yoga or a musical instrument from a book or DVD? I have. I tried learning the bass guitar from a book/CD combination. The only thing I got from that combination was frustration! When I finally found a teacher and took regular lessons, I really felt that I was learning the instrument instead of just fumbling around with it.

Yes, there are many good Zentangle books out there, and that's how I started out with Zentangle because there were no local CZTs to take a class from. But I know from the big class I took (the Zentangle teacher training seminar), that there's nothing like a class with a live teacher there to answer questions and encourage you and set you on the right path with Zentangle.

And you'll find that when you take at least a basic class that you have a great foundation of skills to continue doing Zentangle on your own, or enough excitement and interest to take more classes.
