Ben is versatile in his skills and can speak to any style of music intelligently. He created a plan for me based on my specific interests and essentially set me on the right track to build the foundational concepts and skills I need to be successful. In my case, I was interested in classical guitar and Ben figured out where my strengths and weaknesses were and created a plan for me. I highly recommended Ben for anyone looking for a high caliber guitar instructor.

So, I decided to pick up the guitar and give lessons a shot and it's been super fun! Ben was super chill and really knows what he’s doing. We started off with some finger exercises to get the blood flowing, then dove into learning chords and strumming patterns. What I loved most was how Ben tailored the lessons to fit my vibe. Plus, his passion for music was infectious. He didn't just teach me how to play; he showed me how to really get a feel for the music. I’d definitely recommend taking lessons with Ben if you’re interested in learning guitar. Plus it was awesome to just hear him play!

I came to Ben as a novice piano player and he proved that no matter the age, anyone can get into playing musical instruments. Something that I particularly like about working with him is that he is both very good at planning lessons, but also great at going with the flow and listening to what I feel like practicing.
