Teachers in the New Mexico area!

Sign in to disble this ad
I was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a teacher in the Albuquerque/Santa fe area... I'm primarily self taught, I've taken a few lessons with Howard Cloud who is an excellent teacher and all around great guy. I've had some formal schooling through UNM and double bass lessons through Mark Tatum, who also seems to be a musical genius! I have a basic understanding of theory, and modal concepts, counterpoint, voice leading etc... What I'm really looking for is a jazz teacher. I'm really getting into jazz harmony but I'm realizing more and more that... Well... It's hard! Haha I'm awful at walking lines, and improvisation... I've played in blues bands, metal bands, rock, pop, funk, progressive rock, but improv over an Em isn't improv over blue bossa, let alone giant steps, or Donna lee... I know Gary Willis isn't around here any more... But do you guys have any other recommendations?

A buddy of mine from high school lives out in new mexico. Check out his former teachers and advisers. He's a good guy.
