Posted on by

Dave has only four peak time private student vacancies available on his current timetable.

DEAKIN STUDIO – 71 Kent St

Mondays 4.00 pm – just the one half hour lesson available

Tuesdays 5.45 to 6.30 pm.  This is a prime after work timeslot that will get snapped up quickly!

Thursdays 4.00 pm and 4.30 pm

Contact Sharon on daveoneillmusic@gmail.com or 0418 405 236 to snap up one of these lessons whilst they are still available.

CASUAL LESSON ALERT LIST

If you are a shift worker or an adult with lots of life and work stuff happening that means you just can’t commit to a term or regular weekly lesson – but wouldn’t mind catching an ad hoc one when they are available – then email Sharon on daveoneillmusic@gmail.com and we can add you to the casual lesson alert email list.  Once a week we email notifying of any spots on the timetable that are free that week.

Fiddling for you Slow Session     Here’s an American site that teaches some great tunes slowly.

The SLOW SESSION page is at www.fiddlin4you.com/slowsession!

You must be a member to view this page, but there is no charge … you just need to hit the LOGIN button and sign up for free and then you can access sound clips of tunes being taught in two bar phrase chunks!

The first tune they teach is The Ships are Sailing.

This is very similar to the teaching method for Ten Tunes in Ten Weeks coming up on 14 October.  Places still available in the course – email Sharon at daveoneillmusic@gmail.com or phone 0418 405 236 to book.
