Dear 4- 4 School of Music and Steve Bambrough,
I am writing this letter to express my appreciation and respect to Steve and 4-4 Music School. I regret not attending my last few lessons. I have been in the process of moving to Spokane and have been very busy. Because of this, I will no longer be able to take lessons from Steve.
Meeting, and knowing and learning to play bass guitar from Steve has been one of the most proud and exciting accomplishments of my life. At my first lesson about six months ago, I barely knew how to hold a guitar let alone play one. In this short time frame of taking lessons I far, far exceeded my expectations as a musician. Steve truly has a talent for teaching, it becomes obvious when you talk to him and his students. As a blind person, I was a little reluctant to take lessons from a sighted person. I thought only another blind person could teach me how to play. Boy was I wrong. Steve has an amazing talent for teaching absolutely any one to play guitar, regardless of their age, aptitude or disabilities. Not only did I learn more then I could ever imagine about the bass guitar, Steve introduced me to a wide variety of music, and bands I had never heard of before. I am especially thankful for this opportunity to have learned about music I did not know existed. Because of this talented and optimistic teacher, I am a much more diverse, and motivated bassist.
I cannot thank Steve and 4-4 School of Music enough for the services they have provided. I will carry my lessons and conversations with Steve with me for the rest of my life. He will never be forgotten. You cannot teach someone such valuable skills without becoming a little bit attached. I will truly miss him.
Best wishes to all of the great staff at 4-4 School of Music.
Sincerely,
Greg Wing
