Benjamin is a fantastic singer and teacher. His skills are outstanding and he has an understanding of vocal technique that makes all the difference when learning. I had never sung before meeting him, but since learning with him, my ability to find a pleasant tone and pitch in my voice has improved immensely. 10/10 recommend!
