It is also available online typically at a higher price and with or without the audio CD!! We strongly encourage you to buy the one with the CD so you can practice in between classes.

1. Single-day registration: $60 for each individual GID.

2. Annual pass (6 GID classes): $320 (savings of $40 on 6 sessions.)

3. Jumbo pass (includes 6 GID & 2 LED classes): $395 (savings of $45, roughly equivalent to a FREE LED+.)
