Double Bass German bow teacher in NYC

[the_stone]

Hey guys, I've done a search on this topic, but I've got some specific things I'm looking for. Any advice/names would be appreciated.

In addition to German bow, I'm looking for someone who:

-emphasizes proper bowing technique and proper playing posture (I stand up)

-someone who's cool with taking a student who isn't primarily a classical player – my background is in jazz

-someone who's reasonably affordable. My finances are extremely limited, so the big name-teachers are probably out of my market.

I'm not looking to become an orchestral-level player, but I desperately need to resolve some fundamental technique and sound issues, plus get rid of some bad habits I've picked up in the years since I finished my degree.

Thanks,
Danny

Look up Reuben Radding:

He has fantastic technique and gets one of the most eviable sounds out of the German bow that I have ever heard. You can find him on Talkbass as well.

I also recommend my teacher, Joe Solomon. He's primarily a jazz player, but he did his master's with Julius Levine and June Rothenburg, so he's got a pretty good legit background. He's had a couple of classical track students.
