Singing with Benji H.

I am a professional touring guitarist, songwriter, and vocalist living here in Nashville, TN...Music City USA! I am a classically trained vocalist from the University of Oklahoma, and I specialize in teaching the fundamentals of becoming a studio quality vocalist, rhythm guitarist, and songwriter. I am the band leader for Nashville country/rock trio Scarletta, as seen on CMT, GAC, and most recently named one of Billboard's Top 10 Artists to Watch in 2013. My program includes songwriting, artist development, online marketing techniques, home recording, and much more. *** Lesson Details *** Students can expect to have a curriculum customized and personalized based on their individual goals as a musician. Once we establish your goals we will figure out the best ways to get you there! I try to make learning music as fun as possible, and we will only learn songs that you like and are interested in playing. I am generally a laid back teacher, but I do expect my students to practice what they've learned and show signs of improvement every session. After 3 months of lessons, you will be a fairly competent rhythm guitarist with theory knowledge, real-world music business advice, and we will be writing great songs together! *** Studio Equipment *** ProTools 7.4 Mac PowerBook G4 Rode Microphones KRK Studio Monitors Guitars by Taylor, Ibanez, and Takamine *** Travel Equipment *** I provide an acoustic guitar, song sheets, I expect students to provide a notebook, pencil, and an open mind! *** Specialties *** My program is a very well-rounded approach to finding success in the music industry. I specialize in teaching in-the-pocket rhythm guitar for rock, country, blues, pop. However I also help my students find themselves as artists by developing their songwriting. I teach an "insider's approach" to being successful in the music business, emphasizing the importance of setting goals, networking, and successfully marketing themselves online.
