Mr. Saunders is a pedagogically sound professional with knowledge of a wide range of vocal styles and has helped my daughter improve remarkably during her time taking lessons with him. He is also a fantastic piano teacher. My daughter's lessons were well organized and productive. She thoroughly enjoyed his sense of humor as well. It's not often you can find a high level teacher that is also extremely relatable to their students.

My eleven year old daughter just started taking lessons with Ben after being with another teacher for four years. She likes Ben and his teaching methods, his patience and the home atmosphere. We are looking forward working with Ben and very blessed to have found another great piano teacher.

My daughter has been a vocal student at Ben Saunders Piano and Vocal Studio for about three years and has had the pleasure of working with Ben. Over this time, she has grown tremendously both vocally and personally. Her vocal strength and control improved through the instruction and support given. Her confidence to attempt and succeed at new vocal ranges was incredible to watch. Ben’s commitment and dedication to my daughter was very evident. He provided performance opportunities which has helped my daughter’s confidence both on and off the stage. I am thankful my daughter had the opportunity to be a student at this studio. I truly believe she is better prepared as she continues to move forward.

My daughter has been taking voice lessons from Ben for about six months. In that short time, her technique, vocal abilities and confidence has improved significantly. Ben is a very knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging instructor and my daughter looks forward to her lessons with him each week.

Lesson tuition is charged monthly: • 30 min. lesson each week - $120/month • 45 min. lesson each week - $180/month • 60 min. lesson each week - $240/month
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first consultation lesson is free! In the first lesson, I assess the student’s capability to establish their skill level and areas of improvement. We also discuss any musical goals toward which they would like to work. Based on the assessment, we create an individualized, tailored plan based on the student’s strengths, learning style, and the needed areas of improvement to help them progress to achieve their goals. We also find the best lesson time based on the student’s schedule.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated with distinction from Northern Arizona University with a Masters of Music Degree and was awarded the 2020 NAU Outstanding Graduate in Master of Music. I graduated Summa cum Laude from Weber State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education. I have been teaching private music lesson for over 15 years, and have taught over 100 students in total. I studied private voice with Dr. Karen Brookens, Gary Sorensen, and Marta Gutierez. I also studied private piano with Dr. Gerta Wiemar, Melinda Tall, and Misty Wiese.
