castlemaine22 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I was wondering if anyone could recommend a Bass tutor in the Leeds or Huddersfield area? I could maybe travel to Manchester but I would rather stay local(ish). I am looking to improve my jazz and funk improvisations, I am also very keen to learn bass clef, I can read treble clef very well which comes from playing the saxophone for 7 years! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobothy Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Hi there, I've had lessons from Pete Laffan (you can search for him on the forum, or email using '[email protected]') before, very good player AND teacher (most important bit hey!). If you do a search using this name other people come up aswell. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timo Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I used to have lessons with Pete Laffan who was absolutely brilliant and I (very) occasionally play in a band with Ruth and she's a great player too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
