Introduction: I am a Berklee educated musician with a wide musical background. Whether you want to learn bass, piano, guitar, music theory, composition, or anything else I will start with the fundamentals and then progress as far as a student would like. I teach music with a contemporary style, using musical examples from popular music and jazz. Once a student has a grasp on the basics the lessons are then personalized. Each student chooses what to work on, and I will bring in musical examples, and create exercises that fit each student. I love to help students accomplish something. When a student accomplishes a goal it is a great reminder that the spread of music is one of the beautiful aspects of life.

Ben was extremely receptive to what I was looking to learn and adapted the lesson and practice materials accordingly. He has many resources available to help me reach my goals, and has expertise in a range of areas to help give me a very well-rounded musical experience. I am looking forward to continuing my lessons with Ben!

Ben is my fifth bass teacher and he is by far the best. In our first lesson, he answered a lot of music theory questions I had with competence and explained it in a way that made sense to me. Highly recommend a lesson with Ben!
