Meet the Act
Hunter: I have always had a passion for music since I learnt to talk. I have 10 years experience in a performing arts school, and also studied music in college and at university (where I met Ben!). My music background is varied: from UK garage (thanks to my big sister), to alternative to musical theatre etc. I take inspiration from singers like Skin (Skunk Anansie) and Lady Gaga due to their versatility and confidence. fun fact: my cousin is great friends with Christina Perri and is her pianist/backing vocal!
Ben: With over 25 years of playing guitar, I bring whatever you need to the table.
... I am mostly self taught, up until I studied music at The Academy of Contemporary Music. We both left with a bachelors degree (Hons) in music industry practice. I take inspiration from Frank Zappa, Guthrie Govan and David Gilmour but more contemporarily: Paul Gilbert. Fun fact: I worked with Romeo from So Solid Crew when I was a DJ!
Additional Information
Ben is DBS cert.

TESTIMONIALS:
Nicholas - Ben has been everything I was looking for in a guitar tutor - patient, good humoured, very supportive and of course an excellent and versatile musician. He always follows up lessons with detailed notes and pointers for next steps and practice advice and I've found him the ideal guide - friendly and reliable. Highly recommended!
Dewald - Perfect! Harley really enjoyed his first lesson with Ben, which was lovely for us to see - especially as he has never really picked up a guitar before and was feeling a little daunted.
Ben was patient and thorough - described what Harley needed to do and in a way that was calm, kind and understanding - putting him at ease throughout the lesson and making it fun.
Harley looks forward to learning to play guitar with Ben going forward!
