Hello,
I've just bought an Etherwave, and am trying to get to grips with it. Would anybody in London (UK) be willing to give me a brief one-off lesson?
(I know there's plenty of resources and videos online, but nothing beats someone saying "No, it's easier like this. Yes, like that"(!))
A little more detail: I learnt violin between the ages of 7 and 18 regularly to grade 6 (I'm 23) and have played piano since (grade 5 and then for fun). I consider myself relatively musical and have GCSE, ALevel, grade6 theory, and also play bass guitar, drums, mandolin, guitar... so words like 'interval' mean something to me! I've not got absolute pitch, but my relative is pretty decent. At the moment I can pick out (slow!) melodies and harmony lines.
Oh... I am left handed, and after my violin/guitar experience have decided using my left hand for pitch is far more intuitive to me.
I would like to make sure I'm doing the following:
* tuning the damn thing properly
* proper playing positions (feet, hands, height etc)
* aeriel fingering basics
* is my vibrato ok
* good technique (having held a violin bow incorrectly for 6 years, I know this is worth it!)
* suggestions for good exercises to get me started, shown in person.
To start with I'd just want a single hour (or half hour) session. I'm guessing around £20/hr is reasonable, and I'm willing to travel up to about 30mins outside London.
If anyone's interested, please get in touch! (ideally with video/sound clips of your playing :))
