Lessons at Calgary Guitar Lessons
My Students
I am currently accepting students whose skills range from beginner to advanced. Some may have taken lessons 20 years ago and want to get back into it. Others may have been playing for years but feel they have been stuck on a ‘plateau’ and need help getting to the next level. Some are interested in learning specific songs and styles of music, while others are interested in learning about scales, improvisation, chord theory and composition. Many have never touched a guitar before.
Because of the diverse goals and levels of proficiency of my students, my lesson plans vary from person to person, Therefore, apart from my standard curriculum (theory, technical exercises and ear training), I focus a portion of the lesson on the aspects of music in which my individual students are most interested.
So whatever your goals may be, my goal is to tailor the lessons to hone your skills to become the musician you desire to be.

"Ben’s skills and knowledge continue to amaze me. 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!"

"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 statisfactory way owing to his instruction."

"I started lessons with Ben after spending two years teaching myself guitar and reading sheet music from no prior experience. While I got myself to a point where I could read basic music and play basic chords or simple melodies, I found I wasn’t making much progress and didn’t know how to take it further. Ben was able to address various issues ranging from adjusting my guitar, proper picking and fretting for smoother playing, techniques for different musical genres, to music theory questions… with interesting historical info thrown in from time to time. I’d say I got a very well-rounded experience from my lessons with him, and appreciated his ability to explain (rather than just demonstrate) the techniques necessary to advance my guitar playing."
