String lessons would be ideal, but in fact any instrument where people are teaching young beginners would be helpful to see how things are structured. Not too sure how normal it is for anyone to have an observing student, that maybe that would fit in better with the music service in schools than privately - anyone interested? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Or if anyone has any recorded lessons from courses and diplomas that they are allowed to share (confidentiality and all that) I'd love to see those, as otherwise with everyone working in isolation from each other it's rather tricky to see how your ideas compare to other people's.

They will know and trust you and will probably be willing to do you a favour. Who knows, maybe your teacher would even be willing to pass on a couple of pupils. Good luck with it all!

Unfotunately my most recent teacher lives in Cambridge and the 2 before that are in Birmingham. I've not taken a lesson in a long while as my income doesn't cover it just now. All a juggling act to work out how to get money in with the least money out but still enough spent to do a quality job.
