I have been teaching guitar for around 35 years and playing it for even more, among other instruments. I was classically trained and have spent my whole life involved in the music industry, in that time I've come to the conclusion that the best way to start your musical journey is to learn what you love. This is at the core of my teaching. ----------- Ben's musical ambitions began at Dartington Hall, where he formed a band with his mate Mark. In the early 70's, he went on to study at Trinity College of Music. He has played in Precious Little, The Banned, The Keys and The Retros as well as a stint as a session musician. He plays regularly for both the National Theatre and the RSC. When he has time from both these and his commitments with The Retros, he teaches guitar, arranges and composes
