2183.0. "Any recommendations for good instructors in the Lowell/Lawrence MA area" by CLOSET::KENSEI::J_DORE () Mon Apr 29 1991 16:08

This notefile is such a tremendous source of info.  Perhaps some participants 
could help me a bit.  

I have been studying guitar / playing on my own for a few years now.  I enjoy
it so much that I think it is time for some formal training.  So it is time to
find an instructor.  But where do I start?  Well, for my money, the best way
to find a good teacher is to ask around.  So, I am asking.

Do you know a good guitar teacher that you would recommend.
I am most interested in Jazz.  I would also like to try my hand at 
Classical.  I live in Methuen, MA and work in Nashua, NH.


Send me mail if you would prefer not to post such a recommendation in a 
public notefile.  

Any help will be greatly appreciated


Thanks,
JSD

2183.1	Joe Elliot sings gospel?!	AGNT99::TRICKEY		`Thu May 02 1991 11:32`	11
	I'm in the same position -been playin' a couple of years or so and want to find a good teacher. My first teacher was a big 'ol schmo... I asked him to teach me Def Leppard's "Rock of Ages" and he told me he didn't know gospel! Well anyway, maybe you could try looking around at any local music stores. They might charge a little more though, I'm not really sure (they do back in Ohio!), or I think there's a note somewhere arounds here about gettin' a teacher... Just rambling on, trickey
2183.2	There are a few good ones around	HYEND::C_DENOPOULOS	Fantasy Fulfilled While-U-Wait	`Thu May 02 1991 11:36`	5
	I know of 2 in the Lowell area. One may be retired by now, but I think the other one is still teaching. I'll see if I can find out how to get in touch with them and let you know, probably by mail. Chris D.
2183.3	Eric Kluck, Ciara Music	CUPMK::DUBE	Dan Dube 264-0506	`Mon May 06 1991 15:36`	10
	In my opinion (and I've said it a couple times before in this notes file, I think), the best guitar teacher in that area is Eric Kluck. He teaches at Ciara Music, on Rt. 28 in Lawrence (right next door to Methuen). The number is 508-794-0110. Call him - you won't regret it. (db will back me up on this one, too.) -Dan
2183.4		HYEND::C_DENOPOULOS	Fantasy Fulfilled While-U-Wait	`Tue May 07 1991 15:03`	5
	Of the 2 I mentioned in .2, one I have no idea of how to get in touch with (and he's probably retired from teaching), and the other os a professor in Florida. Chris D.

	Thanks Dan, I will call Eric this evening.
2183.6	Lefty looking for an instructor	ULTRA::FERGUSON	Too much Magic Bus	`Thu Aug 08 1991 16:41`	11
	Howdy, I'm looking for a decent instructor, preferably a left-handed guitar player, in the Acton/Maynard area. I just started playing about 2 months ago. I'm interested in the blues and the grateful dead style of music (certainly they deserve to be classified by themselves). Send me mail or reply here with information or tips. TIA, JC
