Estes Music Studio offers a nurturing environment in which to take private lessons in guitar, ukulele, cello, piano, and string bass. I have been teaching since 1999. Private lessons will dramatically improve a student's skills, technique, and confidence. One on one instruction helps the student advance at their own pace while targeting areas of needed improvement. Continual reinforcement of proper technique, playing with a good tone, and listening to quality music recordings will create good habits that will enable the student to advance more quickly and with a high level of skill. Other areas of concentration include music reading, composer study, music theory, ear training, and stage presence. Each student has his or her own unique needs. I believe it is the responsibility of the teacher to understand these needs and work with the student in a positive and nurturing way.
