About me.

Music has always been at the heart of my life — and teaching is where I’ve found the most joy.

I’m Ben Ferrari, a professional guitarist, bass player, and music teacher based in SE9, London. For over 15 years I’ve been helping students of all ages, teaching privately and as a visiting tutor in schools such as St Thomas More RC School and Beths Grammar School.

Alongside this, I work as a music therapist, supporting people to build confidence, focus, and wellbeing through music.

My lessons are fun, patient, and tailored — whether you’re picking up an instrument for the first time, preparing for graded exams, or just learning your favourite songs. I also bring in my experience from performing, recording, and creating music projects to keep lessons fresh and inspiring.

👉 If you’re looking for lessons that are supportive, creative, and enjoyable, I’d love to hear from you.
