Laurence Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Hey I'm doing a foundation degree in Bass Performance at the moment, and I believe there isn't a best place to learn because all the colleges have different teaching methods and different tutors. I was recommended the London College of Music(Basstech) and the Institute of Contemporary music performance, but I decided to go to ACM as the facilities and tutors were generally better. Here's the link: [url="http://www.acm.ac.uk/"]http://www.acm.ac.uk/[/url] Check the tutors out especially Stefan Redtenbacher and Nik Preston!

iamapirate Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 My cousin (carl Stanbridge) did basstech and it's made him a professional! He now sessions almost all the time and toured with Jason Donovan, interviewed for jamiroquai, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endorka Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I agree with the above - if you are interested in music performance, in my experience, 99% of your personal outcome is predicated on the tutor you have, your relationship with them, and your willingness to practice. These factors can make or break a music performance degree. Caveat emptor: some places of study may have great tutors on paper, but due to other commitments they are not always available for regular study. This can cause difficulties. I would advise consulting current or previous students to discover what the reality of a course is, versus the sunny prospectus point of view. Sometimes it is possible to arrange tutor(s) of your own preference and have the institution pay for them - a thing of incredible value if used wisely, and perhaps worth enquiring about.

jdiddleymspot Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I've heard a lot of good things about Basstech. Sadly I was never able to get the cash up to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
