About Ben

Music has been my lifelong passion, rooted in the moment I discovered Für Elise and taught myself to play it on my aunt's electric piano as a child. Now, as an experienced music educator, my mission is to help you pursue your musical aspirations in a way that feels personal and genuine.

I remember the excitement of picking up the trombone for the first time in 6th grade band. The sounds I could create left me in awe, and I couldn't resist practicing every night in my room. That sense of immersion in something new remains vivid in my memory, and it fuels my desire to inspire the same level of curiosity and passion in my students. I create a non-judgmental space that encourages exploration and self-expression, where making mistakes is seen as an opportunity for growth. When students feel safe to take risks, they become more receptive to constructive criticism and open to the joy of learning.

Here's how a typical trombone or trumpet lesson would go:

- 10-15 minutes: fundamentals, including: long tones, lip slurs, mouthpiece buzzing, articulation studies, scale patterns, upper and lower range extension
-10-15 minutes: Student's personal goals, such as challenging band repertoire, jazz standards, etc.
Last 5 minutes: cool down.

Teaching philosophy:

I take pride in meeting each student where they are on their musical journey. I tailor my instruction to your unique needs, whether you're a beginner or an advanced musician. Together, we'll cultivate the skills necessary to play the music that fuels your passion.

Being a professional musician, composer, and arranger with a decade of experience, I have the ability to transcribe and arrange your favorite songs effortlessly. From popular hits by Bruno Mars and Stevie Wonder to iconic video game themes like Super Mario Brothers and Zelda, I've worked with a wide variety of music to inspire my students. Through my extensive knowledge of music theory and ear training, I'll not only help you learn the songs you love but also develop your own musical style.

In addition to my teaching expertise, I hold a BA in Psychology with a Music Minor from the Ohio State University and a MM with an emphasis in Jazz Studies from the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. As an M1 certified instructor at Musicologie, I'm dedicated to unlocking your full potential.

I offer private lessons for trombone, euphonium, and trumpet, covering fundamental techniques, music theory, jazz theory, improvisation, composition, and music engraving and notation. To support your learning journey, all students enrolled in private lessons gain access to a Google Drive folder filled with educational resources for all instruments.
