Best Melbourne beginner courses

Post by Bonsai Ben »

Hi all

I'm looking to progress from books and online content to a formal course - does anyone have experience of any of the courses offered to beginners in Melbourne?

The BSV novice course looks comprehensive and I enjoy Scott Martin's approach with Bonsai Matsu. Any others?

I'm in Bayside Melbourne.

Thanks in advance

Ben

Hey Ben,

I did the BSV Novice course when I first started out and found it excellent in content and you’ll meet a bunch of great people.

I’ve also done workshops and intensives with Scott and would highly recommend them, but maybe once you have a bit of knowledge under your belt to get the most out of your time with him.

Scott’s podcast is excellent too.

Cheers
