About Ben L.
5.0
(6)
I offer an approach to teaching that puts your needs first. Singing requires courage and skill-I can help you utilize your talent, tame your fears, and become a confident performer. As a vocal training specialist, my approach is technical, classically influenced, and focused on end results-a great performance must be alive and authentic. Technique is the essential foundation. However, a moving performance is made up of many elements combined: musicianship, poise, energy, commitment AND technique. I help you bring all of these elements together. My students sing rock, pop, R&B, opera, musical theater, jazz, country, are singer/songwriters, and more.
As a voice teacher, I have worked with students of almost every age, genre, and skill level at the Music Institute of Chicago, Chicago State University, Loyola University Chicago and through my private studio. I hold degrees in Music Education and Vocal Performance and I am an internationally recognized performer.

Teacher's studio
I had Ben when I attended Loyola University. He was a fabulous voice teacher! Not only is he very well trained in technique, but also in the performance world. It was a great perspective to learn from since he has been so successful in the professional world. He has so much knowledge and it was a fabulous experience to learn from him!

Ben was a solist at the Staatstheater in Oldenburg/Germany, when he became my voice teacher. His teaching methods were sometimes unorthodox, but they were always helpful to improve my singing, and the lessons were always fun. He is an outstanding singer and a great teacher, and I really miss him very much. I would recommend anyone who is interested in singing to consider Ben as a teacher!

Here in Evanston, Illinois Ben was a knowledgeable, reliable, friendly and accommodating voice teacher. But not too accommodating! He stayed focused on training my voice, and so he gave me the lifelong skill that I sought.
