Benjamin is a very professional tutor and performer. He customizes different learning way according to the learning style of student and give different ideas to make the lesson fun and efficient. Strongly recommend if you are stuck with your current playing.
Is a wonderful teacher who stands out from others. He introduces a variety of methods for both bowing and left-hand technique, which has really helped me improve. I especially love the way he teaches vibrato it’s clear, effective, and inspiring. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking to learn violin!
