We have a bridge class starting on Monday
afternoon! Are you in?
I'm your bridge teacher, Morris Jones, but all my friends call me
Mojo. Read more about me here.
This is Bridge101. We're starting at the beginning! We have
a small interested group, and we're going to meet online using Zoom
and an amazing virtual bridge table. No bridge experience
required.
By the end of the first lesson, you will know and practice all of
the mechanics of the game of bridge.
After the fourth lesson, you will have practiced the fundamentals of
modern Standard American bidding, the most ubiquitous
bidding language in the game. You will learn how to create extra
tricks during the play of the hand.
In the fifth and sixth classes, you'll be playing bridge hands with
your friends from class, exercising all of the principles from the
first lessons.
You'll be ready to join bridge games with friends and family, as
well as fascinating new friends you haven't met yet, waiting for you
to take a seat at the table.
Not only that, but learning to play online in a live class is
entertaining, and dramatically effective.
Are you in? Let me know as soon as you can! Here are the details:
- Six lessons: Monday and Wednesday, 1:45 - 3:45 p.m., March 1,

Tech requirements:
- You need to have a reliable broadband internet connection
- A Mac or Windows laptop or desktop is recommended
- A working webcam and microphone, and some experience with Zoom
meetings
- It helps to be comfortable resizing windows and switching
between applications
- Two devices are a possibility: a small screen (phone?) for
Zoom, and a large screen (laptop is easiest) for bridge.
Please reply to this email as soon as you can. We'll make
arrangements to get you the book (you may already have it) and
we'll get started on Monday afternoon!
Best regards,
Mojo
