Ron Barnes has been my
daughter's flute teacher for three years. We have been extremely happy
with him and wouldn't consider changing. Right from the beginning, Ron
emphasized proper posture and finger placement, both extremely critical
to playing the flute successfully. My daughter, who is only twelve, now
plays with high school musicians. Although she has progressed so far,
Ron still has much more to teach her. He is an amazing musician himself,
so there is still lots of room for growth with him as her teacher. I
also need to mention how good he is with kids. He's fun and engaging,
and imparts his knowledge in a way that makes the lesson a wonderful
experience.

With Ron's
guidance, I took my old tenor sax out of mothballs more
than eight years ago and have been playing it since. Ron
has taught me many things about playing music including
reading and theory, but I have most appreciated his
approach to practice. Ron understands the time
constraints an adult faces, so he recommends consistent
practice sessions but does not pressure his students to
meet time goals.
With Ron's
coaching I was able to meet my personal goal of playing
with a great local marching band. I believe that I am on
my way to meeting other music goals, including enjoying
my tenor sax for the rest of my life - and I have Ron to
thank for this.

I highly recommend
Ron Barnes for music instruction. I am not a beginner, and am
highly pleased with his knowledge of music theory. He presents
advanced subject manner in a relaxed and easy to understand way.
He is honest and encouraging, and has helped me to realize I do
in fact have "an ear", but it remained rusty and untrained as I
relied solely on reading music. And...wow...now my voice "works"
too!! Great teacher!

Ron,
Thank you so much for your inspiration, talent and God given gift of
music. Your support for Daniel these past years has been a true blessing. He has just one more year in high
school and he will have accomplished a wonderful journey in music. A big part of
that is thanks to you. You have
helped him so much with his confidence. It’s
nice to know that Dan has enjoyed your friendship and talent.

I
want you to know that Ashley really enjoys her lessons and you have already
taught her so much in the short time that she has been your student.
Thank you,
Michelle R.
