Thank you for working with Abby. She looks forward to your lessons and is keeping interest in music. She learn a new song on her own last night and I am thrilled. Great job.

Bennie is teaching my son and I piano. He is very patient with us as we are extreme beginners. He is teaching us the proper form and technique. And he is just an awesome guy. And his wife is so kind and helpful. My son and I absolutely love our lessons.

Bennie was attentive to my needs and could see where I was struggling. He gave me lots of tips to improve and he was encouraging and understanding. He has a lot of knowledge and he found ways to help things be easier for me. I would highly recommend him as a teacher. He was polite, friendly and patient with me.

Great Lesson, Mr. Bennie was extremely knowledgeable about guitar and how to stay in beat. For instance, he had a great analysis on how to use Scale Structure effectively.

Bennie educated me about cords, correct hand placement etc. I will get another lesson when I get a chance. Bennie was very knowledgeable and I look forward to our next lesson.
- Monica L. from Colorado Springs, CO
Learning to keep rhythm. Still working on it, but Bennie is so patient and understanding of my time constraints on practicing. He's thoroughly knowledgeable on music theory and slowly walking me through learning the guitar at my own pace. Thanks Bennie!
- Aaron J. from Jamaica, NY
Bennie played song examples on his piano and sang examples to show the difference. Very nice, good teacher. He showed techniques he uses on writing his personal songs. He taught me about song Aliteration and why many pro's use this style as does he.
- Howard A. from Portland, OR
Bennie is an outstanding teacher and mentor. He is so detailed and knowledgeable along with a great work ethic. He pushes you to find your own musical voice and expression with the theory that he is teaching. In my opinion that is a sign of a great teacher who encourages you to find you in music. Thank you Bennie

It was difficult getting started on zoom due to visuals but we made it work. I could see and hear him. Benny was clear and concise. He helped give some important tricks to ear training. These tricks will come in handy for the my next assignment. Thank you Benny.

I've been playing for as long as I can remember but Bennie is helping me organize and learn what I need to actually condense ideas and write songs finally - would highly recommend!
- McCall B. from Berkeley, CA
Bennie is a very responsible and knowledgeable tutor. He reviewed the material and communicated with me before the lesson. My son learned a lot from voice to guitar performance and enjoyed every minute of the lesson.
- Zun K. from East Amherst, NY
He knows what he?s doing. In my past three lessons with him I?ve learned more than I had in the past six months of high school band. I am very thankful for the lessons I have had so far.

It was our first meeting. I felt very comfortable with him and am excited to see where this goes. We went over the basics as its been years since I did any singing.

It has been a great experience learning playing the piano with Bennie. I learned so many things from him on techniques and music theories. If you are a well motivated person, you can learn even more. He is ready to answers all kinds of questions.
