Enriching Lives Through the Practice, Enjoyment, and Appreciation of Music
“Dr. Ben is the most generous, friendly, patient, and understanding person that I have ever met in my life. Meeting him has truly changed my life for the better.”
Dr. Ben Lougheed is a nationally recognized guitar instructor and the region’s most highly credentialed Suzuki guitar specialist. As the only guitarist in the world to hold a Doctor of Music degree and complete all nine Suzuki certifications, he offers a depth of expertise rare in community music schools. His passion is helping students discover a lifelong love for music while developing confidence, discipline, and a genuine joy for learning.
We specialize in engaging guitar lessons for children as young as three years old. We design our lessons to build a strong musical foundation, ensuring kids have fun while developing valuable life skills.
For advanced students, we offer elite coaching for competitions and college auditions. Dr. Ben’s students have earned placements in All-State ensembles, been accepted into top-tier music programs, and won prizes in competitions across the country.
Hear What’s Possible!
The Suzuki method is built on the belief that every child can learn music and enjoy the learning process. They do this the same way that they learn their native language, through listening, imitation, and a loving environment. The parent is a partner in this journey, and together, we use the guitar to nurture successful, thoughtful, and caring adults.
