“The best teachers guide you not by instruction, but by discovery. Ben does this to a tee, encouraging you to think, explore, feel, and express music in a way that leads to real understanding. I can’t recommend him more highly!” - Anthony
“Having worked with other instructors as an adult, I feel incredibly fortunate now to be taking piano lessons with Ben Paterson. Ben is not only a profoundly talented professional jazz performer, he’s also an incredible instructor. His patient and methodical approach makes jazz theory and playing accessible for the non-professional enthusiast. Cannot recommend highly enough for any pianist who wants to learn and sharpen their skills.” - Bill
“Ben is a wonderful teacher. He tailors each lesson to my questions and needs, and he can immediately hear what I should work on just from my playing. I often lose confidence when I’m practicing alone, but he always offers the thoughtful encouragement, and that helps me regain my confidence. I’m looking forward to my next lesson with him!” - Emi
