Quartet. Between 2003 and 2009, I was based in Austin where he performed and recorded with dozens of artists throughout Texas and the United States. These have included Leo Stokes and the Grifters, Matthew Ballard, Pieces of East, Hunky Dori, Ross Brunner Band, Johnny Lyon, Quartet Felix and The Fountainhead Ensemble. In 2007, I received a custom-built 5 string fretted violin from luthier Mark Wood in New York. The unique features of this fine instrument helped propel Ben into new improvisational territories and allowed him to expand his bepop and fusion vocabularies. Read More

I love to see my students progress and see how excited they are about what they have learned. I do love my beginner students because they see how music can be so much fun. What I do enjoy is after they have learned the basics of the piano I can finally teach them that song they love so much that probably got them to learn the piano in the first place. Read More

I'm a passionate instructor who loves music and believes that playing an instrument should be fun. My educational training includes undergraduate study in Piano Pedagogy, as well as masters and doctoral degrees in education. This advanced training enriches my piano teaching and enables me to accommodate all learners through an array of pedagogical strategies tailored to the individual student. My students advance and develop into complete musicians through a well-rounded musical curriculum that is both systematic and flexible. Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet
I had a very unique opportunity to be mentored by the legendary drummer/bandleader/NEA Jazz Master Chico Hamilton. I spent a lot of time with him on and off the stage. I was observing and loving all of these moments on tour and in the studio. I learned so many things from him, most importantly what it means to be a teacher. In order to teach, one should never stop learning. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
I am a constructivist teacher. I like my students to drive their lessons. However, there is a structure to the lesson. There is always a warm-up, theory and/or sight-reading, and choice time, where the student works on something they have chosen, and then time to work on something I have chosen.\ Lessons always end on a positive note!

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
quality over quantity.
it's interesting to hear all these stories about people practicing 12 hours a day etc and believe me, I've been there too! But when you are a beginning students, all these things can sound very overwhelming.
My answer to this is: you can't practice 12 hours a day. You can play 12 hours a day, that's something else.
No matter how much time you have to practice, spend it well. Focus on just a couple of things over your practice time and focus on just 1 idea at a time. You will experience that this is the best practice you can get.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
This depends on what instrument your child wants to learn.
Very young children need to be big enough to hold and play an instrument. This is why children can start earlier with for example percussion lessons.
Some children show interest by themselves, they start hitting pots and pans, start singing and dancing, or start imitating playing an instrument.
If you are not certain if your child is ready to start lessons, you can always contact a professional teacher and she or he will have the best advice ready.
When will I start to see results?
If the student starts from scratch, progress will be seen on a weekly basis.
For intermediate and advanced students, it depends on what material they are learning. Some etudes might take up to a few weeks, month, to show clear results of progress.
Seeing results is the combination of having a good teacher and being a good student.
When you get lessons taught the correct way, and you practice the correct way, progress will naturally be seen.
It also depends in the individual, some people are quick, some people are slower. And it's good to know that this has not so much to do with talent! I can be just a phase!
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My father was my first music teacher. He taught me the basics of the clarinet, drums and theory. He taught me how to read music before I went to the local music school. He inspired me by transferring his passion and love for music and art. Getting the right positive feedback was very motivating. Because he was also a high level performing musicians, I believe he knew his craft so well that he could even give me some life lessons at a very young age. And this very last thing is what inspires me the most. When I teach, I'm aiming for that as well!
