20 years of coaching experience

At In Tune, music is more than learning an instrument; it’s an opportunity to reconnect with a part of yourself that you may have waited years to express. Whether you’re picking up an instrument for the first time, returning after a long break, or finally pursuing a lifelong dream, every lesson is designed around your unique goals, personality, learning style, and schedule.

Many adults put music on hold for years and wait until they have more time, more confidence, or feel it’s the “right moment” to start. At In Tune, lessons are designed to meet you where you are and help you make meaningful progress without feeling overwhelmed.

For 20 years, Ben has helped students all over Orange County and surrounding areas at various experience levels achieve what they once thought was out of reach. Through a personalized approach that combines musical excellence with practical, achievable growth, students gain more than technical skills. They build confidence, creativity, discipline, and a deeper connection to themselves through music.

With expertise across a wide range of musical styles, Ben helps students develop skills that extend beyond any single genre, empowering them to create, perform, and enjoy music in a way that feels authentic to who they are.
The result is more than learning songs or techniques; it’s developing a rewarding and creative practice that fits into your life and helps you become the musician you’ve always wanted to be.

Success Stories

I’ve always had a passion and natural predisposition for singing, but working with Ben has been a game-changer and has helped me level up in ways I couldn’t have ever imagined. He’s helped me move beyond my natural instincts and build a strong, grounded technique in just a few months’ time. In this short window of time, he has introduced me to more advanced vocal techniques and has helped me tackle songs that I used to think were way outside of the realm of possibility for me to sing. I’m excited to show up to my next open mic/karaoke session with this renewed sense of confidence!

What truly sets Ben apart is his gentle, kind, and patient approach. His enthusiasm for teaching is infectious, and it’s clear how much he cares about his students’ progress. He will share in your triumphs and guide you through setbacks. His genuine excitement and encouragement when I hit new PRs or finally break through tough spots is palpable. He also tailors lessons to fit his students’ unique needs and preferences, which I personally find far more effective than a cookie cutter approach.

If you’re looking for someone who combines his expertise with warmth and encouragement, Ben is your man. I’m so grateful to have found him and can’t recommend him enough!

Ben has been my vocal teacher for over 10 years now and in that time he has taught me so much when it comes to singing and proper vocal technique. When I first started with Ben as an adult in my twenties, I had no experience singing correctly and I know now that I probably either sounded terrible or was hurting my voice when I would sing along to songs in my car. Ben was extremely patient with me and helped me build a passion for singing and confidence in my voice through years of fun lessons learning songs and focusing heavily on technique. Ben is always flexible and comes to lessons with ideas for what we can work on but is always open to my suggestions as well. He’s always positive and smiling even when giving important feedback to help me improve and continue hitting higher ranges more consistently. I still sing in my car, but thanks to Ben’s teaching, I know that there’s a huge improvement in the sound and impact on my voice. He’s also helped me build up the confidence to sing all out at karaoke and at a recital that Ben was also a part of. I’ve come a very long way with Ben as my teacher and I look forward to more lessons to come.

I first started training my voice with Ben in 2020. At the time, I really didn’t know what to expect from vocal coaching; I just knew I wanted to improve my singing voice. I had no formal vocal training beyond singing in the shower. Once I started working with Ben, I realized how long the road ahead would be to reach the level I wanted to reach. Fortunately, Ben’s teaching made that journey both enjoyable and rewarding. What started as practice quickly became something I genuinely looked forward to. I could hear improvements in my singing week after week, which motivated me to keep pushing forward.

Over the years, my vocal skills have improved to a level I never thought possible. More importantly, Ben has given me the knowledge and tools to continue improving on my own. I have truly enjoyed my time working with him, not only because of what I’ve learned, but also because he helped me fall in love with the process of developing my voice. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone looking to improve their singing and deepen their understanding of their voice

I was mostly self-taught before taking vocal lessons with Ben, and I really wish I had started lessons with him sooner. In just a few months, he’s completely changed the way I think about singing. He’s provided many practical tools that have helped open up parts of my voice I wasn’t comfortable using before. He can immediately hear what’s working and what isn’t, then explain how to fix it in a way that actually clicks. He’s also incredibly versatile. He can seamlessly drift between different genres, eras, and singing styles. We’ve also worked on my own original material, which was especially important to me. On top of that, he’s easy to get along with and makes lessons genuinely fun. Even when singing feels challenging, I always enjoy working with him. I still have plenty of room to grow, but I already feel far more confident with my voice than I did before.

Working with Ben has been such a great experience. Ben has been my first and only vocal coach, off and on for around seven years, and was the first person to teach me guitar! He is very kind and patient, allowing space for questions and confidence. The way he has helped me understand how to use my body as an instrument and visualize notes as I sing has been life changing in my musical journey. He is very accommodating and easy going, tailoring each lesson to your own personal goals and musical needs. I highly recommend checking him out!

Ben has the rare combination of experience, education from possibly the highest recognized Music school in the country, a genuine desire to see his students achieve their goals – and the patience to endure the journey! My musical tastes span decades and genres, and Ben can almost magically figure out how to play and help me learn any song - sometimes restructuring as needed to fit my skill level. Couple that with being an expert piano, guitar, and vocal coach and a great personality, and I can see how he can help anyone achieve their musical dreams.

I have been taking lessons with Ben since 2018 (starting as an absolute beginner), and it has culminated this year in a rewarding studio session in which I recorded an original song, singing and playing acoustic guitar. My journey toward achieving this goal began with Ben asking what my musical goals were right from the first lesson and his tailoring the lessons toward that goal. There were no preconceived notions regarding what and how a student should learn in order to progress as a musician. Also, Ben has a knack for understanding his students’ personality/learning type, and he designs his lessons with that in mind. I highly recommend Ben.

I've been taking lessons with Ben for a couple years now, and I can say that he's helped me improve both my singing technique and my confidence as a singer in a short span of time. Ben's been incredibly patient during our lessons, while also explaining concepts that are normally quite challenging to convey (like how things should "feel" when I'm singing) quite clearly. The lessons themselves are fun and I enjoy the time I've spent there. He's also been able to accommodate the different genres that I switch to throughout my lessons. I'd recommend Ben to anyone who wants to improve on their singing journey!

Ben is so skilled at what he does that he can teach someone like me (with no musical background whatsoever) to sing songs I'd never dreamed to attempt *ahem* Mariah Carey! Every lesson is packed with new skills, and Ben's patience, encouragement, and kind demeanor makes each session something I genuinely look forward to every week.

Ben is, without a doubt, an outstanding vocal coach. Within just a few months he's fixed the plethora of mistakes I was making as a singer. Additionally, as someone who struggles with confidence, his space is very comfortably private, and Ben is very calm and reassuring. I never feel judged or uncomfortable trying to do something, and Ben has been a great guide and really boosted my confidence. Also, as someone who has been to a few other coaches, I appreciate that Ben allows me to focus on the things I want to do, and guides me into the proper technique while doing it. My throat no longer hurts after singing, my range is wider than it was before, and I'm far more confident now singing the things that I want to sing.
