Focused Learning

With so many YouTube tutorials and online instructional videos, it’s so easy to get lost. “What should I really be focused on?” With Ben, you get an in person teacher to provide a focused plan to make learning fun, fast and enjoyable. Get to your goals more quickly with in person lessons!

Playing Together

A big part of music is playing with others. Lessons with Ben can provide a great opportunity to get experience playing in real time with another musician. Whether it’s a song or an improvisational jam, creating a musical moment with another player is one of the best parts of playing an instrument!

Immediate Feedback

Ben can help in real time to show you how to make the song you’re trying to play sound more like the song! Oftentimes a simple change in rhythm or fingering can make the song come to life. Ben can also monitor playing techniques to make sure you’re developing correct playing habits.
