Jazz Bass at Newpark

Bobon

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.

hey man i did them a year ago and thought they were brilliant the tutor will figure out where ya need the help and work on it, its really worth while, i want to do more but i'm just too broke!

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

hi, does anyone know about drum lessons at newpark? -or just generally does anyone know of good jazz drummers who give lessons?... i used to do the group improv lessons years ago & found them very good.

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

I definitely recommend it but seriously ask for Cormac O'Brien
