TEACHERS IN LONDON ENGLAND

[Panurge]

Hi everyone,
I've just moved to London and am looking for a list of teachers that are available to give either a one-off lessons, or if the need is there maybe a more regular arrangement...
I'm not a beginner, so I'm looking for advanced lessons, especially in bowing and such things.
I don't really care if the background is classical, I'm just looking for an inspiring player and mentor to push me in different directions.
Any lead will be IMMENSELY appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
E.

Hi,

I am a classic and jazz double bassist based in Central London. I've just read your ad and I'm wondering whether you're still looking for a teacher. We can arrange one-off lesson and take it from there. I charge 35£ per lesson which is an hour or longer. Then if you come regularly I can charge 30£ per lesson.

Best regards

assuming you want jazz lessons, as you've posted this in the jazz technique section - london is full of great bassists, almost all of whom teach. Go to some gigs and see who catches your ear.
some of the best bassists around, all of whom you should check out, include Simon Woolf, Steve Watts, Dave Green, Dave Whitford, Mike Janisch, Larry Bartley, Jeff Clynne, Phil Donkin, Aidan O'Donnell....
I can personally reccomend Simon Woolf as an excellent teacher, but I think you'd do well to have a listen to people's approaches and make your own mind up.
