Introduction
Hi! My name is Ben Johnson. I've been a pianist since I was 11 and playing music since I was 10. I have a degree in Piano Performance from Lawrence University and pedagogy experience from Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California. As a piano teacher, my primary focus is on cultivating a love for music and fostering the development of students from beginner to advanced pianists. I believe in tailoring lessons to meet the unique needs and aspirations of each student while providing a solid foundation in piano technique and music theory. Outside of classical piano, I am a songwriter that has written, produced, and distributed 2 albums since 2020. I also have pedagogical experience teaching vocal lessons and music theory to beginner-intermediate students at Lawrence University!

Ben Johnson is an amazing piano teacher! My 11-year-old daughter just started lessons with him, and she's already showing so much progress. Ben has a wonderful way of making lessons fun and engaging, which keeps her motivated to practice. He is very patient and explains concepts in a way that is easy for young students to understand. We feel very fortunate to have found such a talented and dedicated teacher!

Ben is an experienced piano teacher that helped me learn the fundamentals of piano. Coming from an unexperienced background, I was nervous about the prospect of learning something so complicated or difficult. Ben guided me through all my nerves and helped me learn piano in a way that makes me feel comfortable and confident to tackle any piece that I choose! His music theory emphasis is so helpful in understanding why music sounds the way it does and how it relates to quality piano playing. Highly recommend him as a teacher, you won't regret it!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Pricing is dependent on travel and travel time. I teach out of my studio in West Hollywood, CA at a fixed rate of $70. If a student would like to be taught in their home or at another location, that rate is $80 if travel time is less than 30 minutes. Any travel time longer than 30 minutes involves a rate discussion.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    Typically, I will have a trial first lesson at which I assess the student's prior music experience, current music skills, music reading skills, theory education, and have a conversation to discuss what their goals in music lessons are. If after the first lesson, the student wants to continue, subsequent lessons will include technical warm-ups, repertoire work, and theory discussions (if the student needs more theory education).

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I have a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance from Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin where I took several piano pedagogy courses. I also had experience teaching large classes of piano labs, individual students, coaching musicians, directing, and theory education. I also have taken pedagogy lessons from Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California in which I learned how to effectively teach students of all ages and music levels.
