Hey,

I am Ben, 17 years old and I'm a pianist. I've been playing Jazz and Blues for just over 5 years and playing the piano is something I am very passionate about.

My playing is inspired by piano greats such as Oscar Peterson and Joe Sample; both of whom's music encourage me to continue what I do.

Most of the music that I play is music that I have taught myself, heard from tracks and been shown by other people.

On this channel, you will find several Blues/Boogie/Jazz Piano lessons. I try to teach what I think will be useful to aspiring Blues pianists.

However, if there is something you really wish to learn, please feel free to send me a personal message and I'll try to respond as fast as I can.

Thanks for watching and many thanks to everyone who have left comments on my videos and subscribed to them!

Good luck!
Ben
