Ben...the CC-Ben, aka Choas Controler!?! If so, I would like for you readers to know my background. My child 'graduated' from ABA, thereby (therapy for children on the autism spectrum). Although I know my child was transitioning, I thought it would be helpful for him to experience the culture and the constant challenge. I contacted CC-Ben with my situation. Moreover, without a bat of the eye, he committed. He and my son (s- because his brothers like to join from time to time) over the last couple of months working on songs, definitions, and performing in front of people. We have been happy with this experience. I do not want to put a recommendation...in fear of losing him. However, he deserves to know how we feel about him. Thank you, Ben, you been so patient and encouraging.

Benjamin was great working with our 5-year old son. Keeping the interest of young kids can be challenging, and we were impressed with his ability to keep our son engaged through the whole lesson. Our son is excited to keep learning guitar.

My 9 year old son has been working with Benjamin for a year. We have found Ben always patient, conscientious, and reliable. When my son chose to transition to learning electric guitar, Ben accompanied us on a weekend to pick out the new instrument. My son looks forward to his lessons with Ben, and we see him making great progress under Ben's guidance.
