Music Lessons at Bath (specifically violin)Hi all,
I should ( touch wood!) be starting at Bath this autumn and I was wondering if anyone knew roughly how much I should expect to pay for the subsidised music lessons through the ICIA.
Also are there practice rooms I would have to go to rather than practising in my room at all, or is it only after a certain time in-room practice is an issue? -

I dont know much about tuition at Bath but there is a music society and orchestra so if you join them you can ask people. Sorry, this wasn't really answering your question but I wanted to say hello to a fellow violinist!

Re: Music Lessons at Bath (specifically violin)I'm not exactly a violinist yet - I used to be up until the end of primary school and then the option letter for secondary school came round (my school is notorious for expensive peripatetic music lessons) and I saw the price and didn't want to waste my parents' money XD(Original post by Cpt_Oppius)

One of my friends who's just done Grade 8 is going to teach me for a bit until uni to help me get back in the swing of things.
What course are you doing? -

What course are you doing? I think music will be a good way to make friends and meet new people and also Bath would be great for busking in 
I am going to study Civil Engineering, provided I do well in the next few weeks
What course are you going to do if you dont mind me asking? -

Re: Music Lessons at Bath (specifically violin)Hey, I was wondering what grade level you play at?
If lessons are expensive I may have to continue what I'm currently doing which is taking lessons from a grade 8ish student rather than a teacher teacher.

I have done some teaching before, but mainly with younger children. If you wanted lessons though i'm sure we could come to some arrangement...
