Natalie S. says, "It's one thing to have incredible skill and talent But it's a true gift to be able to teach it to another. Our son, Jason, has been taking drum set lessons with Ben for the past 3 years. And with each lesson, Ben brings great enthusiasm, patience, and understanding. Jason has gained much knowledge from Ben over the years, especially regarding music notation. But, additionally, Ben has opened him up to new practice methods and styles. Furthermore, Ben has helped Jason meet personal goals, sometimes helping him with tryout material, new songs, and/or mallet work for Wind Ensemble, Varsity Jazz, Drumline, etc. But more than just helping Jason improve his skills as a musician, Ben has fueled Jason's life-long passion for music/playing the drums."See more
