My 8 yrs old son has had guitar lessons with Ben for more than a year now and has made remarkable progress for this short period of time, currently on Grade3-4 and had played twice in his school concert. This would not be possible without Ben’s great tuition. My 6 yrs daughter has also started learning bass with Ben. Ben is very patient with young learners and provides tailored materials that keep the kids engaged while ensuring they have good fundamentals. He also gives helpful advice about music gears. Whether your child is a complete beginner or looking to improve, I couldn’t recommend this teacher enough Jimmy Chen's review, as posted on Google

Whether you are looking to follow a grading system or just play for fun, Ben makes sure learning is enjoyable whatever your standard. He can cover pretty much any musical genre and is a very, very good musician which always helps. The new studio is working out great too. Highly recommended. Tim Giles' review, as posted on Yell.

I have been attending Ben’s guitar lessons for quite a while and with the benefit of his teaching skills passed my Grade 7 acoustic guitar earlier this year. I have always found his lessons to be well prepared and his guitar knowledge and playing first class. I’d thoroughly recommend him. Brian King's review, as posted on Yell

Both my sons attended Bens studio for bass acoustic and electric guitar. Fantastic tutor. Patient, encouraging and gets the best out of his students. My eldest was with him for 8 years, successfully obtaining a grade 8. Fiona Stewart's review, as posted on Yell.

Ben at Inspired Sounds is a highly professional music teacher with years of experience. He gears his teaching towards the London School of Music syllabus which gives an excellent grounding in Ukulele techniques such as strumming, finger picking and melodies. He has been my tutor for a year and a half and I feel that I now have a good grasp of chord shapes and playing melodies using tabs. He also introduced some theory which I found very interesting as I had no background in music and I’m now able to apply that to learning other instruments as well as the Ukulele. Ben is very patient and takes time to explain any issues you may be having. He likes to teach songs that you like and is always open to your own ideas and what you would like to play. He makes excellent use of online materials and Accompaniments for every lesson. Tutorials can take place in his new, custom built studio or by Zoom. I highly recommend Ben as an inspired teacher and musician. Catherine O'Hara's review, as posted on Google.

Thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with Ben. Took me out of my comfort zone on a few occasions but that was a good thing as it made me learn things that I would normally not have encountered. All in all it was well worth the time and expense to spend time with someone who guides you in a certain direction but is also sympathetic to your own areas of music. I am an older player and If it wasn’t for my arthritis giving me issues I would still be attending lessons. Give Ben a go, it’ll definitely improve your playing and knowledge of music. Ian Beveridge's review, as posted on Google.

Very good instructor. Unlike many guitar tutors, Ben knows how to teach, not just learn a tune. Very patient! Gordon Jack's review, as posted on Google.

A Decade of Brilliant Teaching! Both of my children have been learning guitar with Ben at Inspired Sounds for the past 10 years, and I genuinely couldn’t recommend him more highly. Ben is not only a talented musician but an outstanding teacher; patient, encouraging, and completely tuned in to what motivates each child. He’s managed to keep both of them inspired and progressing, through every stage from beginner chords to complex pieces. What sets Ben apart is the way he nurtures a real love of music. Lessons have never felt like a chore, just something my kids have looked forward to week after week. I’m so grateful for the musical confidence, skill, and joy Ben has helped develop in both of my children. Thank you! Tony Campbell's review, as posted on Google.
