Ben has been an absolutely fantastic teacher! He is calm, skilled and a very talented musician.
In just a few lessons he dramatically improved my technique, exposed me to intricate details of drumming I didn't appreciate before, taught me just the right amounts of music theory, fixed my posture and much much more.I went from barely being able to sustain a simple beat and keep time to jamming along, improvising and just feeling a whole lot better around the kit.
If you want a balanced and sustainable way to improve your drumming - I can't recommend it enough.

Oh...and the studio is awesome!

Ben is a fabulous drum teacher and Play Music Melbourne is an excellent studio in which to learn. Since starting drums with Ben, my son’s confidence has grown significantly. Ben is a kind and positive soul willing to impart his talent and skill to his students who adore him! So glad we stumbled across Play Music Melbourne!

My son has been playing drums with Ben and the other teachers for over 5 years now. He loves playing with Ben and it is quite literally the highlight of his week. I can't recommend Ben enough, his knowledge combined with his calm nature have been such a positive influence on my son.

Excellent teacher, very perceptive, and tailors learning to the skills of younger and older learners. My daughter (11) and I have been having drum lessons here for over a year now. We’re both progressing well thanks to the personalised feedback on technique and performance. Ben seems to be able to pick out exactly what to improve to take you to the next level. And my daughter’s feedback “great teacher!”

"Fun, friendly, welcoming" says my 15 year old son who has had lessons here for a few years now. Ben has a nice style and approach. Lessons are always interesting. Easy to deal, flexible and efficient.

Highly recommend! My son has been learning with Ben for the last two years and it's been an amazing experience for him. Ben offers one-on-one lessons with the very best equipment; he is so patient and always supportive, my son just loves going to his lessons. Ben has been great with certain songs request that my son has wanted to learn how to play and encouraging him to step out of his comfort zone by performing at talent shows and online competitions. We feel extremely lucky for our son to have this activity and enjoyment in his life and if you're keen to ever learn the drums, this is the place for you.

Ben is an amazing drum teacher! He's very knowledgeable and experienced and brings a fantastic energy to his lessons. I'm learning so much (and having a ton of fun!!)

Started drumming 6 years ago as a 50 year old with zero experience. 6 years later and still going strong with Ben! Cant recommend highly enough - whether you are starting out or know your way around the kit, Ben is a great teacher who makes playing interesting and fun and delivers real benefits to your playing

Ben is a fabulous drum teacher. Calm, positive and super-helpful. Our son has learnt so much and looks forward to his lessons each week.

Our kids love learning drums with Ben at Play Music. He has a beautiful and fun approach to teaching and a great studio. Highly recommended!

Ben is a phenomenal teacher. He's teaching my two kids drums and guitar and has instilled a real love of music in them - always makes the lessons fun and engaging whilst still ensuring they're developing. Couldn't recommend him more highly!

Ben has been an absolute star! He has really helped motivate my son and has worked with me to find out what teaching style works best with my son's personality.

Ben at Play Music Melbourne is a talented musician and an engaging teacher who has a wonderful way of teaching drums. As a current performer himself, he brings a wealth of industry experience to his lessons. He has introduced my daughter to a broad range of music, expanding her appreciation and knowledge, while also incorporating the songs and artists she already loves into her learning. This keeps her lessons fun, relevant and motivating.

The studio recordings are also a fabulous addition to the regular weekly lessons. Professionally sound and video recorded, my daughter absolutely loved having the opportunity to experience recording music and share her progress with friends and family.

Ben is a great teacher. My son loves his drum lessons and says Ben makes learning fun. He has progressed so much in the short time he’s had lessons at Play Music Melbourne.

Ben is a great Drummer. My Daughter enjoys going there and has progressed very well since she's been seeing Ben.
