About Ben
I'm a composer, songwriter, lyricist and multi-instrumentalist (piano, bass guitar, guitar), with a decade of experience gigging and playing around the UK. I love to teach, inspire confidence and watch people grow musically - I have led amateur choirs, accompanying on piano and writing original harmony arrangements. A staff choir that I led at my last workplace went from no performing experience at all to singing in front of an audience of 200-strong and gave extremely positive feedback on the effect the choir had on their wellbeing! I'm a member of a successful Glastonbury Emerging Talent shortlisted band. Our album 'Hopefuls' (2020) received a four-star review in Rolling Stone Magazine DE. My compositions and co-compositions have received multiple airplays on BBC Introducing and BBC 6 Music.

Want to learn piano, bass or guitar but don't want to struggle with grades and sheet music? Want to reach a level where you can play and busk your favourite songs, whatever genre they may be? Or be good enough to get a band together? Maybe you *do* want to take the grades/music theory approach! Or maybe you already have some fundamentals and want to learn to write songs and compose! I offer all of the above and more. My easy, useful and fun self-written basic and intermediate courses for guitar, bass and piano can be tailored to the individual and applied to their musical tastes and interests. These courses combine simple chord, scale and rhythm exercises with learning how to play along with songs. These songs are picked collaboratively with the student and apply what is being learned to how it works in popular music. Whether you want to sound like Taylor or Tame Impala, we can work together to get you playing in the style of the music you love most, and crucially understanding how it's written and performed. I can also help you to prepare for grades and teach music theory in a simple and easy applied way. I'm a friendly and supportive type, love to meet people and teach people of all ages and experience levels. Lesson length: 1 hour (home visits available provided they are inner Leeds area - 30-45 minute lessons for younger kids). Lesson packages available!

My daughters have both grown in their love of music under Ben’s fun, accessible and holistic tuition. They have progressed so much on piano in a short time and also grown hugely in confidence. Ben is an inspiring and patient teacher, striking the right balance of structure and flexibility. He teaches the skills, encourages creativity and understanding, then puts it all in context. He’s also friendly and nice to have around. I can’t recommend him enough.
Learning piano with Ben has been a fantastic experience. He's incredibly passionate and engaging, and that energy really comes through in every lesson. What sets Ben apart is how keen he is to understand the kind of music I enjoy. He tailors each session around songs I actually want to learn, which has kept me inspired and committed.
At the same time, Ben ensures there’s a clear, methodical structure behind everything we do. It never feels random — there’s always a purpose and a steady sense of progress. He strikes the perfect balance between making lessons fun and making them meaningful. I’d highly recommend Ben to anyone looking to learn piano in a way that feels personal, enjoyable, and truly rewarding.Superbly intuitive musician. Reliable, dependable and once you've worked with him irreplaceable.
*dont feed after midnightBen led a staff choir which I was a member of, he always brought energy and fun to sessions. He’s extremely musically talented, patient and creative.
Ben is a fantastic music teacher. He makes lessons loads of fun, dynamic and relaxed. He’s an exceptionally talented musician but totally approachable and down to earth. Highly recommend!
In the 5 years that I have known and worked with Ben, I have witnessed his passion for music and for helping others to engage with music in fun and rewarding ways. Ben is a talented and experienced multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and arranger, with a wealth of knowledge to share. His friendly and approachable demeanor make him a pleasure to collaborate with and learn from. As a choir facilitator/ music tutor he is patient, kind and encouraging. Whether he is working with complete beginners, or those with pre-existing musical skills, Ben always puts the needs and preferences of those he is working with first, ensuring that they are meeting their goals and most importantly, enjoying making music! I would highly recommend Ben to anyone who wants to develop their musical skills and grow in confidence in a supportive and fun environment!
