Music Lesson Instructors in Bastrop, Texas (Bastrop County)

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.... See More

The goals of my studio are to provide a fun and musical environment to motivate the student to become the best musician they can be. Whether the goal is to learn the basic concepts of music theory, playing or singing for your own enjoyment, developing performance technique, public speaking, preparing for a music career through the college process, or generally feeling more confident - our time together will be spent developing these traits. I tailor my lessons to each student's goals.

Some of the things we use in the studio to heighten the learning experience is technology. Students will have the opportunity to use such pedagogical programs as Home Concert Xtreme, and Classroom Maestro to help develop musicality. Areas of focus: sightreading, transposition, scales & chord structure, harmonization, and creative composition. I relate these ideas in a non-stress yet motivating climate. My "keys" to success are communication and fun!

Skype Lessons are also available!

Recitals are conducted twice a year, in addition to participating in various Festivals, hosted by the local Texas Music Teachers Association and Texas Federation of Music Clubs. Participation is not mandatory, but allows the student to perform in a variety of environments.

I pay close attention to posture, tension, and balance and have worked with the Alexander Technique for 6 years to help me and my students play comfortably!... See More
