| | | | DB teachers in downeast maine?
Hey all,
I'm spending a couple months in Lubec, Maine. Just wondering if anybody knows of any DB teachers in Downeast Maine. Style isn't as important as know-how. I've been playing a long while, just never had a teacher, and I'll have lots of time to practice up there. I play mostly Jazz, old time, rock, and some Klezmer, and I'm just starting to Bow, and could use direction there.
Thanks,
tyler

| | | | Thanks, Efischer1, good idea. It looks like it might be Muroki still, if his website is up to date. Brunswick is kind of far, though...about 4.5 hrs from Lubec, the eastern-most town in the country!
Would probably be worth the drive, though.... |

| | | | Upon further investigation, I'll be in Maine later than Mr. Muroki.
Anybody else? |

Google up "Maine Music Camp" and get ready to drive several hours. Good luck, man. |

Tyler- I know of a bassist who lives in Deer Isle, which is a hike, but do-able by Maine standards. He's with the Bangor Symphony. I don't know him personally per se, but was given his name as a reference from Wil DeSola when I was looking for input from NS La Scala owners. Nice guy on the phone. He may know of someone even closer.
Email me off-list for info.
-Mike

St. John isn't that bad, especially by boat! It's closer that Deer Isle, but I would drive a few hours...a few weeks in Lubec and you get kind of antsy to skip town!
Thanks for all the replies...guess I just needed to bump!

| | | | I took lessons from the Deer Isle gentleman. He was excellent--really knew his stuff. Lessons were always a lot of fun and I learned a tremendous amount. He was also just a great, amicable guy. I will PM you his name and contact info.
