What Students Say
Ben I think you are one of the best guitar instructors. I would have not been comfortable playing guitar without you. You have been a very kind teacher to me. I have been playing guitar since I was 4 years old. You have made learning guitar a fun process for me. Sometimes I would just come to you to collect the stickers you would hand out to me at the end of every lesson. I love your teaching style.

Mr. Ben is a great guitarist and an awesome teacher. He helps me learn every song – not too fast, not too slow, but just the right speed so that I really start to understand the piece and play it very well. He sets goals that help me learn, like “Practice this section at least five times a day.” These goals are simple, direct and easy to achieve, and at the same time help me learn. Mr. Ben has so many different ways to teach one skill – if one idea isn’t helping, he has many more to help you with. Mr. Ben is an amazing, helpful teacher and guide.

He 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. I would not be the person I am today without him. I’m so thankful that my mom randomly asked me if I wanted to play the guitar one day. Getting to know and bond with Ben throughout the years has been one of the most memorable moments of my life and has built one of the best relationships I have had in my life.

What Parents Say
In one word, Ben is extraordinary! In many more: Ben’s approach to teaching is inspiring and his love for music shows in his passion for teaching. He has a calm, disciplined and approachable demeanor that invites students of all ages to connect with him as a relatable teacher. He not only teaches “notes”, he teaches artistry. He talks to and with the students, not at them. Having observed class, I see that his lessons go beyond music, and he shares lessons that relate to life. Ben is a wonderful influence, and my daughter’s life is enriched because of Ben. As I have told Ben, hearing my daughter play brings so much joy! Plus, Ben’s ability to play guitar is AMAZING! We are SO LUCKY to be learning from Ben!

My son has been taking guitar lessons with Dr. Lougheed for six years. It is absolutely amazing how much he gained in skill and self-confidence. The instruction is very individualized and balanced between learning techniques and acquiring expressivity. Music Lessons Express has an effective system in place to support consistent daily practice.
