Instruments: Piano Flute Keyboard
No matter how old is the student or how many experiences that they have, one thing I am emphasizing in the lesson is enhancing their interest and motivation in playing the piano. It is because I can offer them the method of practice, musical knowledge, but ultimately it is their decision to practice or devote in music or not. I hope I can do my best to teach piano by giving them fun exercises, interesting listening examples or demonstrations, and different musical knowledge, in order to let them fall in love with music.

Hi Everyone! My name is Benjamin! I'm a high-energy guy that loves to teach music. My students come from all walks of life and from various ages. In 2012, I graduated from Evangel University with a Bachelor of Arts in Music, focusing on composition. Getting to see people advance in music has been one of my true joys as a teacher. It has also been my joy to perform with some great musicians all over Missouri. Read More
Instruments: Piano Flute Piccolo
For my methods, it depends on the age of the student and what their ability level is. For a young student, typically children, I would have to cover the fundamentals of music while applying it to piano or flute to help them learn the notes, clefs, time signatures, key signatures, etc. For my lesson plans, it changes from student to student as each student is different and has different needs they need to focus on to better their musical experience.

Instruments: Piano Voice
I want to give all my students a background in classical music to prepare them for possible further education in music and give them confidence among classically-trained musicians. I also want my curriculum to include non-classical musical styles that each particular student enjoys and relates to. I want to help students accomplish their personal goals (and their parents’ goals) regarding their musical education. Most importantly, I want my students to love playing and/or singing music!

In my studio, I listen to the work that the student prepares for the lesson and assist with technical, performance, and musical aspects. We also listen to new music and discuss various aspects of the development of music.For younger students, I have computer based learn to help reinforce fundamentals, and also games that can help keep the learning an exciting and fun-filled experience. For my adults with goals in classical music, I offer in-class study of theory, repertoire, and history. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
My voice and piano studio was established in the summer of 2018 with the desire to provide quality piano and musical theatre coaching/training to the Kansas City area. Growing up, musical theatre and piano lessons were an essential outlet for me as I explored the world around me and within me. I teach because of my desire to share the life-changing experiences the performing arts has to offer with the next generation of performers. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Harmonica Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
The next instrument that made the makt sense to play was bass. I would not consider myself a great bass player, but what I do try to do when I play is fulfill the roll of a bass player, and try not to sound like a guitar player who picked up a bass. It started when I would tinker around on my friend’s bass, and I eventually got my own. Additionally, I always loved hopping on a drumset go knock out a few beats. About 7 years into playing music, I got my own drumset, and would also play somewhat consistently on a practice pad. My first instrument was piano, but learning music theory creates a necessity for getting better at the instrument. My sight reading is not very good, but I do have a pretty good ability to convert theoretical ideas I’ve learned on the guitar to the piano. I’ve also found that it is useful to learn new patterns on the guitar by playing them on a keyboard. Finally, the harmonica started as something I very casually played in high school, then in the last few years I learned enough techniques on it to feel comfortable playing the blues and along to different songs. I also have a chromatic harp, but it is a little more difficult for me to make music with.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
As briefly mentioned before, my dad initially wanted to go into college studying classical piano. He chose a career in medicine instead, as he placed second in a piano competition in which the first place winner received a scholarship to study music. He was also involved in choir in high school, and played some guitar. My mother sang and also played piano from a very young age. Both of my brothers took classical piano lessons from age 5 to 18, and performed beautifully complex pieces from Chopin to Greig.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
It was apparent from the first time I played a guitar that I was deeply in love, but there was one defining moment in high school where I believed it would be a possibility. I hadn’t been playing guitar for about 9 months, and was obsessed with Led Zeppelin, and Jimmy Page’s abilities. I had been working tirelessly on developing technique and teaching myself scales, and I decided to push myself by learning the solo to the song “Heartbreaker.” I spent a few weeks on it, and was able to play it note for note. It was at this moment that I realized I had a knack for the guitar more than I had perhaps understood before, and from that point forward, I knew that I wanted to pursue music professionally.
