Bass teacher recommendations - Dayton Metro

[fuzzychaos]

I know it may be a long shot, but does anyone know of of good bass teachers in the Dayton metro area (north Cincinnati as well)? I have been playing bass for many years, but am self taught and frankly never put a lot of time or effort in study or practice. I want to get more serious as I really want to start playing in my church (very large one). Thanks for any help.

Between Cincinnati and Dayton - John Toedtman of the Toedtman School of Music.

He is a great player AND a great teacher. He is a member here, but I’m not familiar with his “handle”.

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check the school out.

Since I'm not from the area I am unfamiliar with how far places are from one another, But TB's own @Chris Fitzgerald teaches Bass at a college in Kentucky and he is superb - literally a gentleman and a scholar.

Thanks @Jazzdogg, but Louisville is over 90 minutes on the far side of Cincy. It’s been a while, but my impression is that Cincy has a pretty decent number of great players. I think the OP should have a lot of options there.
