And so begins a new chapter in my search for a tutor. Have a few contacts on hand, some of whom I've met, but still undecided on who to study under. I've few concerns when choosing a tutor; namely their experience, teaching ability, musical flexibility, lesson fees, location and even personality.
It isn't easy to locate good saxophonists in Kuala Lumpur. I bet there are countless guitarist, pianist, drummers, bassist but wind instrument are somewhat less popular.
Awesome blog! I'm also interested to learn the sax but it's so difficult to find a decent sax teacher around klang valley. Hope you'll find a new tutor and update on your new experience soon!
ReplyDeleteActually its not too difficult finding a tutor.
ReplyDeleteIts hard finding THE tutor, someone at the right location (for classes), tuition fee, experience and an eager personality that fits you.
That's hard...
there's this guy who teaches sax at the music store mama treble clef studio in sri petaling... apparently he also teaches a bunch of other stuff. met him once, seems like a nice enough guy, azhar something something
ReplyDeleteWas on the phone with this Azhar today....he seems to know his stuff.. =)
ReplyDeleteI'd do a pre-interview with tutors to get to know them better, what their experiences are, the teaching environment (house, studio, school, etc.), and probably a syllabus/structure for 1-2 years.
ReplyDeleteAs long as you're comfortable, give it a try.
