Hector Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Hey Guys, Just wondering if anyone knew of any good teachers to study with in the oxford area? I'm at Uni there, so would be hard for me to travel outside the city too much (although I would consider reasonably close outside). I've been playing classical DB up to grade 8 with a teacher for the last year and a half but since then, my technique has gone to pot and I'm getting lazier and lazier with my practice. Basically I just want a good jazz teacher who could also go over arco stuff to kick me up the arse! Thanks, Hector Quote
MrT-Bass Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Hey Hector, I don't know a teacher in Oxford but if you haven't been already, the Spin club there have some really great Jazz on and some cracking double bass players. They could teach you or know where you could find a local teacher. Here's the link - [url="http://www.spinjazz.com/"]http://www.spinjazz.com/[/url] Good luck Tiernan Quote
Hector Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 Wow, thanks Tiernan! Will check it out as soon as I'm back. That club is a max of about 10 minutes walk from where I live so huge bonus - can't believe I've never heard of it/seen it before! Quote
Toadonroll Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 When I was at uni in Oxford I had lessons off a guy called Domonic Lash. Excellent teacher. Plays upright and electric. Teaches jazz, reading etc. Would definitely recommend him. He used to live off Cowley Road. Don't have a number for him, but he was very good. Here's his myspace.

ashevans09 Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) Also might be worth talking to Tim Dawes, great player 07970062729 Nice thing is he will play piano along with you so you can get some nice jazzy jams going Edited January 15, 2009 by ashevans09 Quote
