Why Choose Me As Your Guitar Teacher?I have over a decade of experience as a full time guitar & ukulele tutor, a Bachelor of Music (majoring in jazz), a Diploma in Audio Engineering and Music Production and over 30 years experience as a musician. However, none of that means I should be your mentor.
I aim to be the antidote to Instagram-esque tutors in this instant gratification world. We all know the “you’re making these 7 common mistakes as a guitarist” or “learn this hack for soloing all over the guitar fretboard” grabs. These tutors are trying to beat algorithms to generate clickbait rather than offering a musically tangible education to help with your guitar playing (or ukulele playing!). Instead of spending my time making content for social media and treating students as my side project, I spend my time on my students and do my job as a real-life educator. Learning guitar is FUN and rewarding, but I’m not going to lie to you for clicks...
There are no secret steps that you're missing and fast hacks! Why would you want to miss out on the every essence of music? The journey is the best part and that's where the gratification is. I often hear things like “Why am I not good at improvising guitar solos?”. The answer is most likely because you have never been taught all of the elements and devices that make guitar improv possible. The key message here is that I deliver you tangible information with printouts and take-home resources to support what you've learnt in lessons. |

What My Students Say
Ben has been teaching my daughter & I grunge classics for more than a year. |
Amazing guitarist and person. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn guitar or ukulele to go with Ben. He's kind, friendly, a great teacher and a all round great person. I've had the best time with him the past 2 years and made me improve hugely. 10/10 🎸 |
Ben is a great teacher and I highly recommend him. He is encouraging and patient and his teaching studio is clean, comfortable and quiet, providing an ideal environment to learn in. I started [guitar] lessons as a beginner wanting to explore different genres and styles. Ben was incredibly accommodating, having appropriate material ready for me at every lesson. As well as fun and inspiring, the lessons are also very affordable. I find myself looking forward to my guitar lesson every week! |
