N. NJ instructor

Hey Guys,

I'm in Hoboken and could use an instructor as well. David Gage gave me Rufus Reid's number, he lives in Teaneck about twenty away from me,but I'm afraid to call him I'd be intimidated studying with someone that famous, though I hear that he's very nice.
So If you have any sugestions.

Hey Bob I'd like to here what your client has to say about his new Bulgarian.

 

Only someone from your neck of the woods could call Monmouth County 'north' Jersey. To me, that's south. The teachers I know are all in Bergen County area, all the way "north."
I can ask around. What town?

 

Hell, most folks down here consider anything above Trenton to be North Jersey and New Brunswick might as well be in New York City.

 

There is a good guy in Milltown, near East Brunswick and New Brunswick, just off Rt 18. Very convenient to Freehold. His name is Joe Macaro, he can be reached at 732-545-8922. He studied at Berkely and teaches both electric and upright. An excellent teacher and good guy all around.

 

speaking of teachers, how about one in philadelphia? I haven't had an upright lesson in years although i play all the time. have been thinking about getting lessons.

 

I have learned, forgotten and re-learned repeatedly that the telephone is a most powerful tool for musical self-empowerment. Take it from someone who's a week older than you: Call. Even if Mr. Reid tells you to go eat worms, you will not forget or regret it.

As for "famous jazz musician" I'd keep that one in perspective, too. There are only about five jazz musicians whom "most people" know and three of them are dead.
