Hi, Lynn!

I've been playing electric bass for about 6 years now, but I've always held a fascination for double bass. I want to take the plunge and buy myself a double bass and find a good teacher to learn jazz and classical from. I'm hoping I can eventually go to school with this, like I've always wanted (maybe even UNT?).

I was wondering, do you know of any resource or list of double bass teachers in the Dallas/Fort Worth area? I've been reading that it's best to find a teacher to help you find a double bass, so I am hoping to find a teacher to at least stay in contact with who can help me pinpoint a good bass while I save up for the next few months.

I remember reading years ago that the UNT grad students give private lessons to undergrads and the public as part of their graduate curriculum. Am I imagining that? I figured finding a grad student as a teacher would be a great place to start for a double bass beginner like me.

Thanks in advance for any and all help you can give!

Kip Green is in Ft. Worth, im sure you can start with him. He is teaching at TCU.
