    Go for it, I've only heard great things. It's tough, but if you love playing jazz you wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

    Hi,

    I've been playing trad music for 7/8 years, but over the last 2/3 years I've also been playing funk and some jazz. The problem is, I play a traditional Irish flute, and it is only in the key of D, with one chromatic note (C natural). However, I have a new flute (also trad) ordered, with lots of keys that will enable me to play chromatically and in any key I want. Although the instrument is still traditional, it will have the same capabilities of a classical one. I am now looking for a Jazz flute teacher. I live in Rathmines, Dublin. Does anyone know a good one?

    I am a fast learner with a competent knowledge of the genre, and have studied music for 3 years in N.U.I. Maynooth. In some ways it will be like learning a new instrument again, and I'm quite excited and enthusiastic about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Danny

    any good guitar teachers in the ennis area, have the basics but would like to learn jazz


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 140 ✭✭MagDee


    If you want to improve your vocal skills, control your breathing, work on your vocal techniques, expand your scale or prepare a particular song for auditions, learn how to properly use microphone. I am an active gospel/jazz/blues singer available to help out. I would consider working with a small group, in my place (Donnybrook) or in your home, if that suits you better.

    I reckon 1-2 supervised hours per week and some training on your own would be enough to improve your vocal skills in no time!

    The fee is €40 per full hour. Please PM me if you're interested.

    I am v keen to learn saxophone - have a shiny new sax but have only managed 4 lessons so far. I travel a lot with work so need a tutor who could come to the house - or be pretty flexible. Anyone know of someone who would be able to help out.

    alternatively - has anyone managed to make progress with books/CDs?

    Try Newpark College/School of Music, I go there for Trumpet lessons, my teacher is called Rosario, he teaches all brass instruments, and I'm sure he teaches in the home, depending how far it is. He is very good. Failing that you could try Paul Ryan he has a website with contact names for teachers, good luck

    Hey all,

    I've just got back from America after living and studying jazz improvisation for 10yrs.

    I'm living out in Dublin 24 if anyone is interested in beginner/intermediate/advanced jazz guitar concepts and improvisation.

    I can help open a few doors for those who are stuck playing the same old chords and licks. If you really want something to practice and warm up with everyday-I'll show you 'Donna Lee' with some Tal Farlow-ish fingering!

    Look forward to your emails.

    All the best for now,

    Alan
