About me
I am a musician. I write little dots on lined pieces of paper for other musicians to interpret. My wife sometimes gets jealous of the attention that I give my guitar.
Growing up, I wanted to be a lawyer, an actor, a missionary, a cartoonist. Before that, I wanted to be superman. Ok, fine - I still want to be superman!
I write music that I would want on my ipod playlist: adventurous and cinematic, with a sprinkling of eccentricity. Check out the "my music" page for samples.
Back as a full-time student, I immersed myself in composition and classical guitar. After graduating I actually lectured (without the tweed, I promise) in electronic music at my alma mater in Sydney, Australia, before chasing my beautiful wife (then fiance) across the world, eventually landing in New York City.
I teach students of all ages, abilities, and attention spans - and I love it! If you've ever received a hand drawn picture from an admiring child - or seen the look on an adult's face upon learning to play a song she's loved her entire life - you know exactly why I get such a kick from teaching!
Feel free to write me a line and introduce yourself, I look forward to hearing from you!
Cheers,
Teaching
Hey there!
Why do I love teaching music? Just check out some of the awesome pictures my students have been giving me. These gifts are a priceless reminder of the joy that music brings.
The successful student learns because they want to learn. They make music because they enjoy it. And, of course, a little gentle prodding now and then from a parent or a spouse helps to keeps the passion alive.
For lesson pricing and availability, please drop me a line via the "contact" page.
Cheers,
Ben
