Nic T. says, "I have known and been taking lessons with Ben Paterson for about 5 years now. When I first started (at 25!) I could barely play: the last lesson I had had was when I was 11. I am now a professional jazz pianist working six nights a week in Baltimore. This is entirely due to the guidance, patience and excellence of Ben's teaching- he has not only been great at teaching the technical and theoretical aspects of jazz piano, but, for lack of a better term, the spiritual or philosophical aspect of learning not only the piano but anything difficult: he is always supportive, always patient, always able to diffuse any anxiety (and there is quite a bit) I may have about my progress or how I'm sounding. Lessons are never dogmatic or tense in any way; in fact, I usually arrive feeling very nervous and leave feeling very relaxed. Most piano lessons with other teachers can't candidly be classified as fun or relaxing; with Ben it always is. I think this extra dimension of Ben's teaching is what separates him as a teacher from others. I think it's a product of his experience as one of the top jazz pianists performing in the world today. He is, above all else, one of the greatest performers within his idiom; every night he is on stage with some of the greatest living musicians in the world. As such, compared to what he's usually up to, the stakes in any given teaching session feel very low. This gives him a unique perspective towards teaching: it allows him to really enjoy the process of watching and hearing someone grow and develop at their own pace. He's having as much fun as you are. It's important to note that this approach does not in any way compromise the rigor of the lesson itself: you are still pushed, still challenged- just always in a positive way. "See more
