Simply put, I think Ben is the best guitar educator in Calgary and have no hesitation to recommend him to anyone wishing to move their guitar playing into the next echelon. He helped me improve my understanding of music and my ability to play guitar far more than any previous instructor I have had. Ben helped me better understand and play classical, flamenco, rock, and country songs; and my friends and family have commented on how much my playing has improved. Thanks Ben!'- Jim Bowen, Calgary, AB'I have had the pleasure of taking guitar lessons from Ben and have no hesitation endorsing his teaching skills to my friends. He is creative, patient, passionate about his subject and keenly interested in teaching his students the intricacies of the guitar. His theory lessons are very understandable, and I increased my understanding of music in the most satisfactory way owing to his instruction.'- Ross Mutton, Calgary, AB'I started lessons with Ben after spending two years teaching myself guitar and reading sheet music from no prior experience.more...See more text
Ben is the absolute worst teacher Ive ever had for anything. He was often late, unprepared, had no overall plan and spent at least 15-20 min of each of our 60 minutes together talking about himself. He never gave me tabs or copies of exercises to practice and often when I asked questions he mocked me and compared me to other students he taught that learned much quicker and were better at guitar. Ben made me like guitar less and it has taken a long time for me to be play in front of others again
