I've been lucky enough to have some kind words said about my teaching on both Google and Facebook. Here are some examples of the feedback I've received from customers.
"I was taught guitar by Ben, he is an excellent teacher and and extremely knowledgeable about his subject. Taking up playing at 57 I was one on Ben's older students. He was extremely patient with me and I learnt a lot from him." Alan
"Ben is an amazing teacher and musician. I am an adult learner and wanted to take up the guitar again. Ben taught me for the last 3 years and we have done classical, pop, jazz, bossa nova, rock and many more.He is very attentive, naturally gifted, keeps you focused, let’s you play and discover and has a wealth of knowledge. I would highly recommend him for children and adults!" Haroula
"My daughter loves her guitar lessons and she’s learnt so much already. Ben is a fantastic teacher!" Beth
"Excellent guitar tutor, my 6 year old daughter really enjoyed it." Jem
"Ben is a great music teacher. He taught my ukulele group for a year until, unfortunately for us, he moved back up to Yorkshire. The music he gave us to play was always interesting and pitched just right for our mixed abilities. He helped us to develop individually and as a group. Our sessions were always good fun." Janet
"Ben teaches my 12yr old boy Electric guitar and my 10yr old boy Bass guitar, both beginners. They really enjoy their lessons and are always keen to play what they are learning. Ben is patient and encouraging and chooses music that they like. They seem to be progressing well and we would all recommend Ben." Sally
"Ben is a brilliant tutor. I have never played an instrument, but Ben is really patient and figured out a way to teach ukulele to a music rookie." Christian
"My 12-year-old son had guitar lessons at school but never really enjoyed them. When he moved to Ben, everything changed. Playing guitar is now one of his favourite pastimes. He practises daily without prompting. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ben." Afra
"Very nice and helpful. Never got annoyed with me when I was slow. He also asked me what songs I liked and those are the ones we did" Tanya
"I attended a series of Ben's Ukulele evening classes in Leeds a couple of years ago, and enjoyed his engaging and inclusive guidance and tuition, which he made fun while also happy to answer questions and share his wide range of musical experience and know-how" Andy
"I looked forward to Ukulele lessons each week with Ben. Our group members benefitted from his excellent teaching. I am happy to recommend him." Lee
"Ben taught our group of about a dozen adult improvers and we learned a lot from him and had a lot of fun. He structured our lessons to get us strumming and picking together for a fuller sound. We also had a series of lessons on blues techniques, riffs, turnarounds etc. He also covered some music theory as most of us are totally lacking in this area. Ben is a very good musician and an interesting and thoughtful teacher. My partner and I thoroughly recommend him." Helen
"Very patient and knowledgeable teacher." Garry
"Great guitar teacher! Would definitely recommend." Fiona
"My 10 yr old daughter has lessons with Ben through school and she loves them." Simon
