About Lewis Benzies
I’m Lewis, a musician who has been performing and teaching in the Aberdeen area for the past 22 years.
I started off teaching bass to my best friend’s brother and soon found myself with many guitar and bass pupils in the music shop Bruce Millers.
While at college I taught at Sound Ideas and later began piano teaching privately. Throughout this time I have been very active in the music scene, and so in lessons, there is an emphasis on practicality. This includes music theory.
I will show the pupil how theory is relevant to the musical experiences they look for.
Music Qualifications & Achievements:
- I have an HNC Music Performance, and have reached a high aptitude on bass, piano & guitar
- I am known in the Aberdeen jazz scene, having maintained a monthly residency at The Sanddollar Cafe for 7 years, played at The Blue Lamp and The Aberdeen Jazz Festival. Also Edinburgh, Callander & Langtoun Jazz Festivals
- To date I have recorded and released two high quality jazz albums.
- Teaching is inspiring in that all that I discover musically can be passed on and made more accessible to another generation.
