My eight-year old son took drum lessons with Ben and loved him! He was able to relate to my son and make learning music fun. It was so rewarding for me to see how much he learned while he was Ben's student. I saw students of different ages coming and going while my son was his student. His patience and versatility is suitable for anyone looking to start drums or expand upon existing skills.

Ben is a fantastic teacher. He really understood what I wanted to get out of taking lessons, which made every lesson challenging and fun. Ben helped me so much with fixing my technique and taught me a lot about what it takes to be a super solid drummer.

Ben was my son's first private lesson teacher. He provided a solid foundation through teaching proper technique and explaining musical concepts in a straight-forward way. Ben's vast musical knowledge and easy-going nature makes him a pleasure to work with, which should continue to benefit students at all levels.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
What is your goal for your drumming? That is the number one thing I want to know. From there we work towards that by using exercises, techniques and music to get there.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a degree in music education from the University of Texas Arlington. After University, I continued taking private lessons and have studied with Stockton Helbing (UNT One O'Clock/Maynard Ferguson), Chris Knox (Mike Mitchell's teacher), Clint Simmons (Berklee) and Jaime Reyes. I've also had one off lessons with Dave Elitch, Anika Nilles, Todd Suchermann and Dom Famularo. I constantly am learning and reading about drumming today in various books and online media.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
