demail Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Hi. I'm moving from Cheshire to Hampshire next month (between Basingstoke and Winchester) and I'm looking for a tutor. From the usual sites it doesn't seem there's anyone nearby. I've only been playing 6 months and I'm wanting to learn both jazz and orchestral. Any suggestions? Derek Quote
simon_says Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Derek About 10 years ago I had lessons with Kate Addis south Reading and also Lucy Heath in Bracknell. I don't know if they are still teaching or not. For jazz I have had a couple of lessons with Andy Crowdy in Henley on Thames. Despite great tuition, what I thought would take six months to master has turned into lifetime's journey. Good luck Simon Quote
demail Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 Many thanks Simon. I'll check them out when I get down. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Quote
jakenewmanbass Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) I'd recommend ummm... .... Me! But then I don't feel too bad about the self promotion because so would these guys... http://basschat.co.uk/topic/6270-jakesbass-jakesbass-and-thrice-jakesbass/ Edited July 26, 2013 by jakenewmanbass Quote
demail Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 Jake That sounds ideal. I see you have made much the same move as I will (I'm going from Chester to Hants) and also that you play in a band with Les Chisnall, from whom I took a couple of piano lessons a few years ago. Small world. I'll get in touch when I move down and see what we can arrange. Many thanks. Derek Quote
molan Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Jake is a really good teacher - you can't go wrong with him Quote
jakenewmanbass Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Thanks Barrie Hi Derek, it is indeed a small world. Les is one of my all time favourite players, and a dear friend. I reckon you'll like Hampshire, it can be warm and sunny and there is some really lovely countryside, and close enough to London (well, all the SE really) to make gigging about really easy. Look forward to hearing from you. Quote
demail Posted July 29, 2013 Author Posted July 29, 2013 Jake Yes, I moved up to Cheshire from Hampshire in the first place and I've decided to make the return trip. Must say, judging from Partysounds and the like there doesn't appear to be a lot of music going on around where I'll be (RG25) but I'll have to make more intensive enquiried when I get down. That'll be at the end of August and I'll PM you then. Derek Quote
