About

I help kids to fall in love with music! My lessons have been described as "fun, not stuffy", and I adapt quickly to the unique personality and goals of each student. I do this through engaging Zoom lessons where we use songs the student loves to explore music fundamentals. I adapt my lesson plans to be just the right level of challenge.

My goal is to help my students to become well-rounded, creative, and passionate musicians, whether it is building the confidence to perform at a talent show, writing their own songs, learning to sing as they play, or mastering the songs of their favorite artists.

I am in EST (Eastern Time, USA), but I teach students all over the world. I usually teach 1-1, but I also have experience teaching groups, especially in home-school settings.

Although my schedule is quite full with students, now that we are in summer break, I have space for just a few more : )

Contact me to book a free 15 minute call to discuss your student's interests, and see if we'd be a good fit for lessons!

My rates are:

$60 / 30 minute 1-on-1 class

$90 / 45 minute

$120 / 60 minute

    Ben is a great teacher - his music selection is based on kids interests and what they like. He’s patient and does a great job on zoom with virtual lessons!! My son loves to play the guitar and loves his Zoom lessons with Ben each week! He’s always got something new to share and teach!

    Weve been working with Ben for nearly 3 years and my kids are excited every week to practice and attend lessons! Hes innovative, engaged, and endlessly patient, which makes each week an adventure. He is extremely organized and his own talent allows him to use both traditional materials and original adaptations for specific skill levels and different instruments. He truly listens and modifies each individuals curriculum to their ability and interest--its simply amazing!!
    I cannot say enough positive things about Ben--I am so thankful to have found him and to witness the growth in my kiddos both as musicians and creative thinkers.
