Of the mahjong lessons in Hartsdale with a published price, the price is $199 across the board. These are the venues' own listed rates, not estimates, and each listing says what the price covers.
No. Beginner sessions start with the tiles themselves — how the walls are built, the Charleston, and what a finished hand looks like. Most run a short teach-the-rules round before play.
Tiles are supplied at almost every venue, and most classes lend or include the current year's card. If you'd like to confirm, the organiser's page says so.
Two hours is typical for a first lesson, and most people leave able to play a full hand with the card in front of them. Fluent recognition of the hands takes a season of regular play.
No. Tables run from retirees to college students — the game is pattern recognition and table talk, not a fitness test, and most groups are glad to have new players of any age.
The mahjong you'll learn in American classes is the National Mah Jongg League game: four players, a set of 152 tiles, and a new card of winning hands every year. It's a game of pattern recognition, memory and table talk — genuinely easy to pick up the flow, and genuinely hard to exhaust. Most people leave their first class able to play a full hand with the card in front of them.
