    About Benjamin B.

    Hello! I got my Bachelor's Degree from the Eastman School of Music in jazz trumpet performance. I am currently pursuing my Master's Degree in music education from the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami. I also work as an assistant with the University of Miami Marching Band. I have performed professionally on cruise ships, with the Chopin Piano Competition Orchestra, with rock/funk bands, and with the grammy-winning Eastman Wind Ensemble. Throughout my performing, teaching, and education careers I have developed familiarity with the jazz, classical, funk, rock, and pop genres. I believe in teaching students both the notes on the page, and the historical, theoretical, and musical contexts behind the notes. I look forward to teaching students of all ages and from all backgrounds and skill levels! I look forward to learning with you!
