Ben is amazing. My 9th grader has been taking lessons from him almost a year now. She has improved dramatically and is enjoying more than ever

I've had several private violin teachers in the past but Ben is the first one who has really made me excited to pick up my violin again.

Our son was leaning towards quitting the violin, but after Ben's instruction, he's recommitted himself to playing.
