The only one I am familiar with is Jeff Berlin's Player's School of Music. I went to the One-week Intensive - which would be a good way to check the school out before committing to a longer term. I loved it. It's small, but the instructors and instruction was excellent. If I had the opportunity to go full time I would seriously consider them. Invalid Link Removed

Good Luck,

I know none of them personaly but you asked "will I learn?" and to that I'll say. You get from a course what you put in. They're not a quick fix for people you know?

Sorry I couldn't help with the specifics of the schools

no worries.

im looking for some really good tappign instrcution. alsot a lto fo theroy stuff and things like that. and then of course you knwo teh random "elective" classes here or there. ill you what though, of all these schools ive been looking up they all put TONS of emphasis on slap. its really weird. and most of the schools, which is my biggest fear come to life, generalize things. ie rock bass is like this... jazz bass is like this... they offer classes on learning beatles bass lines or somethign of that nature. not to say beatles bass lines are bad, but youd think theyd get out of that "its like this" box. oh well....
