Learning to play can be frustrating

Learning to play can be frustrating

There's so much to get your head around that choosing the wrong teacher can mean it's easy to get frustrated and disappointed.

You may have been playing for a while and be stuck in a rut and without the right teacher, that's exactly where you'll stay.

And then the inevitable could happen:

You give up.

And never become the incredible musician you know you could be.

I know how you feel...

I know how you feel...

I know how you feel to want to give up. To try so hard to learn to play, even just to impress my friends, only to find myself struggling.

I've been there. 

But I've also discovered how to push through those barriers to find the joy that comes in that that magical moment when individual notes and scales become melodies and songs.

And the pleasure that comes with sharing that with others.

Why Choose Me?

Why Choose Me?

I could focus on my qualifications, the fact that I have a music degree, have grade 8 on Saxophone, piano and flute, and 20 years experience as a gigging musician, playing guitar, bass, drums, and keys.

I could tell you about touring with CJ from The Voice, how I've toured extensively in the UK and Europe and recorded an album with a band in the USA.

Or maybe I could focus on my 20 years teaching experience both as a private music teacher and in schools and university level.

“Ben has proved to be an excellent teacher for my beginner 9 year old daughter and progress has been impressive (I am a ex-pro musician) Ben has navigated the Zoom world with ease and my daughter eagerly looks forward to her weekly lesson. Highly recommended.” - Tim Wilson

"Over the years I have had many excellent music teachers for both guitar and piano. However, Ben consistently teaches me not only new things, but a fresh way of looking at the theory and techniques I have known for many years. There are many things that previously seemed complex or just irrelevant and unusable that have now become a valuable part of my playing due to Ben's excellent musical insight.” - Joe Thomas

“Lottie has really thrived with her piano under your tuition. She has really learned so much and gets genuine pleasure when playing. You have really made it a fun instrument for her so for that, thank you so much. She is now sitting down to play several times a day.” - Cat Hayward
