About Benjamin
If you’re looking for a fun, energetic, patient, professional music tutor then Benjamin is an ideal teacher for you. Having received a Distinction in his MMus Instrumental Performance (Violin) from Royal Birmingham Conservatoire along with a BA (Hons) in Mathematics and Music from Royal Holloway, University of London, he is a highly trained and accomplished musician. Benjamin has been classically trained from a young age, starting the piano at age 5 and Violin aged 7. Benjamin has several years’ experience of personal training in addition to teaching experience. As a violinist, he has had the privilege of performing alongside orchestras such as the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, London Mozart Players and is a previous member of the National Youth Orchestra of Wales, giving him the opportunity to perform in major concert halls across the UK. Having specifically chosen teaching modules as part of his Master’s degree, he has developed a teaching method that encompasses numerous styles of teaching, with the sole aim of developing whole-rounded musicians, not instrumentalists.
