Estelle’s focus during lessons and the commitment she shows to her practice means she has made excellent progress on not just one, not even two, but three instruments! We have a little chat about her musical journey so far …

I had to practise every day to get better and be confident in front of people.
Between all the instruments you know how to play (piano, harp and guitar),

My favourite instrument is the harp because it sounds wonderful, elegant and it is unique.
