Steve welcomes students with skills ranging from the beginner to the advanced level for piano, classical organ and harpsichord lessons.  A free initial evaluation is provided by appointment. Lessons follow an organized approach that utilizes the student’s accomplishments to steadily build skills and confidence in the areas of music theory, technique, ear training, sight reading and performance.  Every lesson conducted at the studio is notated for practice sessions and future reference.  Students are taught to not only play or sing, but to read and thoroughly interpret the written score.  Those interested in performing are encouraged to prepare pieces of recital caliber.  An experienced recital artist, Steve Benson provides performance coaching for both vocalists and instrumentalists.  His in-house recording studio may be utilized to produce reference recordings for the purpose of self-evaluation, audition, permanent record or publication.  His experience as a recording engineer and choral conductor provides a trained ear that helps to achieve a higher level of performance preparation for each situation.Rates for private lessons are given during a free initial consultation/appointment. Rates are not quoted by email, text or telephone.
