I am a Musical Director at a church. I have been teaching piano over 40 years. I attended Duquesne University School of Music, Pittsburgh, PA and Berklee School of Music, Boston, MA.
I have a new student that has been with me for 2 months and is now playing the song "Piano Man". He is also playing classical music, improvising blues and rock and roll riffs. I am the teacher that can get you going. Expect the best and I will give you the results. I can teach any style that you want to...

Couldn't ask for more!
Amazing, is what I say. In a nutshell, Bennie is AMAZING. I have so longed for someone to patiently, and I emphasize patiently, teach me the basics for they are foundational. As a life long educator I know and appreciate the significance of first being solid on the basics. Bennie also has that passion. I felt as if I finally found the teacher best suited to my needs. I'm not in a hurry. I'm not trying to speedily learn so that I can do great exploits (smile). I will take my time and Bennie is in sync with my goals. Finally....I found THE ONE...(LOL)

Great Instructor!
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!

Good teacher with experience
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.

Outstanding Teacher and Mentor
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.
