Private Ukulele Lessons
When looking for a teacher for any instrument, it's important to find one that knows the instrument as well as having a strong grasp of music fundamentals and music education techniques. For those wishing to learn the ukulele or for current players wanting to improve their skills, we recommend Tracy Kimbrell or Cory Fournier. Tracy teaches every day, excluding Sunday, and Cory teaches every day, excluding Friday and Sunday. They both teach at The Music Store in Mesa, AZ. You can reach both by email at tracykimbrell@the-music-store.com and coryfournier@the-music-store.com with questions or to set up a lesson.
Looking to improve your skills, but not ready for private lessons? Checkout a ukulele Jam Night.
Bio - Tracy Kimbrell 
Tracy has been playing and performing for 20 years and has been teaching since the age of 18. In addition to ukulele, he teaches all styles of guitar, bass and banjo, as well as mandolin. Tracy is currently working on his Masters degree in Music Education. He is noted for his ability to explain difficult concepts in an easy-to-understand manner. Tracy will show you the right way to develop your musical knowledge and proper technique.
"If you learn the musical side first, then any style you learn will come much more easily." - Tracy
Bio - Cory Fournier 
Cory has been playing and teaching Acoustic and Electric Guitar for over 25 years. He has played a wide variety of styles with emphasis on Rock, Pop, and Praise and Worship music. Cory's musicianship is largely the result of practical experience, having left music school to tour with a Top 40 group. He does, however, employ his Bachelor's Degree in Psychology on a daily basis, "using immediate gratification (songs) to motivate students into learning what they need to know (theory)." While Cory is capable of providing in-depth study, his philosophy of music leans toward the "less talk, more play!" approach. Cory currently plays in his own acoustic duo and with his church band. His love of music and positive attitude provide a welcome learning environment for students of all ages.
