    Hey,

    I'm just wondering if anybody has any experience doing lessons with the school and how you found them? Just to confirm, i'm not talking about the Jazz degree but the actual individual lessons. The lessons are €400 per semester for 18 x half hour lessons. And feedback appreciated.

    As with any individual lessons, it depends on the teacher. I'm a full time student there. Ask for Cormac O'Brien and you're sorted

    Do you have to be of a decent standard to go to there?

    Ive only been playing for about a year and think its time to get some lessons.

    Do you reckon Id be way over my head or do they cater for all levels?

    The jazz degree demands a high standard but for individual lessons, anyone can apply
