If you’re trying to learn a new instrument or improve your current skill set, it’s best to play on a regular basis. Weekly music lessons with a professional teacher are a great way to establish a consistent practice schedule. Enter the professional musicians and teachers at Hurst Music, an instrument rental shop in Lexington, KY. Not only does Hurst Music sell used instruments and sheet music, you can take weekly 30-minute music lessons from a group of skilled and experienced teachers.

When you register for the private music lesson program, you can choose from a variety of woodwind and brass instruments, as well as piano, strings, drums and guitar. Here are just a few of Hurst Music’s talented instructors:

• Brasswind Instructors: David Hummel is a trumpet player who leads his own big band group and plays in local orchestras. Throughout his tutoring, he has taught music lessons at local middle school, high school and college campuses. Bradley Keesler has a doctorate in trombone performance. 
• Piano: Instructors Bryan Henry and Dara Henry have more than four decades of teaching experience between them. Many of Dara’s students have competed in high-level piano competitions and festivals. Bryan also specializes in voice and classical/electric guitar.
• Guitar: Dave McLean has shared the stage with the likes of Judy Collins, Emmylou Harris and Norah Jones and has played on numerous award-winning recordings. Luke Jackson is a student at Eastern Kentucky University and solo-artist who performs and records regularly. 

Hurst Music believes making music goes beyond creative artistry—it also expands the academic areas of the mind. High school music students often have higher GPAs than non-music students and some research has shown participating in music and the arts can improve overall test scores. Learning an instrument can also improve discipline and teamwork skills.
