About Ben
I have been teaching private lessons even as early as a high school student. I have loved teaching music at every step of my career, and have led larger ensembles as a music director.
I am classically trained at the premiere conservatory for well rounded top-tier percussionists, the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University.
As a professional musician, I have toured through 30 cities across the United States and Japan.

We create a video practice diary so that friends and family can watch the student grow. You'd be surprised how quckly you can sound good in my studio! See my photos here for example screenshots, or watch them at siphon-music.com !
We can cover the whole gamut of percussion instruments, or tailor the curriculum to your own personal interests. The vibe of the lessons is always to have fun while holding ourselves to high standards of musiciancship.
I have worked extensively with high school, college, and independent world-class musicians. I have taught the whole range of experience levels, from beginners to competitors in top level competitions.
Not "any teacher" will do. High-achieving student musicians have one thing overwhelmingly in common: they have teachers with exemplary careers of their own. I teach music for the love of teaching, but I am dedicated to being a top-tier performer in my own right as well.
Secondly, it is always important to HAVE FUN. And having fun is goes hand-in-hand with pushing yourself to the next level. We are fortunate as drummers/percussionists to have chosen, hands down, the most satisfying instrument to play. And there's nothing more satisfying than noticing one day "wow... I have gotten so much better!"
I loved improvising a piece of music at a corporate event, where I used a technique called "live looping" to create an entire drum symphony out of just a microphone and a flood gate used by the MTA. Students who are interested in composition can work on their original music with me as well!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Think about what you want from taking lessons. I'm here to help YOU make your life more fulfilling. The motivations and goals might be different for everyone, and that's totally ok.

Ben is an incredible teacher. He breaks down music and its performance to the most fundamental of levels and ensures that one's foundation of technique is efficient, uniform, and safe for one's hands and wrists. All of this is done in a way that is easy to understand the how and the why you're doing something a certain way.
I learned an incredible amount about music theory, time signatures, and overall music and performance during the time I was a student of Ben's, and I would absolutely recommend Siphon Music Studio to anybody, beginner or not. You won't regret it!Ben is an incredibly sensitive, intelligent musician. He's also a beautiful and perceptive human who always leads with kindness, generosity, and curiosity -- in my experience, the essential makings of a great teacher.
