Because I run my own private tutoring service, I can tell you that Ben is a true master of teaching the guitar. In general, I rarely write reviews (Ben didn't even ask), but in this case I feel compelled to share my experience. Let Ben teach you the cage method and you'll see just how quickly you'll be able to connect music theory to your playing, improvising, and writing. Enjoy

I'm only on my 4th lesson with Ben, but he is a wealth of knowledge. He was able to jump right in to exactly where my skill level is and go from there. I highly recommend him for anyone wanting to learn or get better at the guitar. He's very personable and relaxed during our sessions and works at a great pace.

Ben has been teaching our son guitar for the last four years - since our son was 9. We could not have selected a teacher who is a better fit for him. Ben made learning guitar fun before it was work and developed a passion in him to carry him that is still present today. Now that he is older, even when it's work, it's still fun for him. Ben's instruction is very age/level appropriate while still challenging and setting the expectations high. Since Ben has relocated to NYC, our son now takes lessons via skype. The skype lessons seem even more focused and instructive than the face-to-face lessons.Our son has really blossomed under Ben and has been playing gigs around town and on TV since he was 11 - all with Ben's instruction, encouragement and support.

Ben was the first guitar teacher I've ever had. I took lessons from him for maybe 4-5 years, and throughout that time we worked on a ton of different types of music, various aspects of music theory, ear training, sight reading, and much more. He helped me audition at college, and has provided me with numerous recommendations including one that helped me get the job I still currently work at. He has also helped me with finding other musicians to work with, and generally has provided me with all the tools I needed to grow as a guitarist and pursue a career in music.

Working with Ben was a great experience. Even after playing for nearly 30 years before studying with him, I sincerely credit Ben for helping me make that critical transformation from guitarist to "musician". Ben is an active listener, mentor, and teacher, who has the gift of finding and then leveraging his student's strengths, while providing motivation and support to develop in new areas.
