Guitar

Kevin Benson earned both his Bachelor and Master’s degrees in music performance at the California State University, Northridge School of Music.  While there, he performed regularly in solo and ensemble recitals, master classes, worked as a student-teacher in the Guitar Pedagogy program, and was a recipient of the Randy Rhoades Memorial Award.  After college, Kevin studied privately with local blues and jazz guitar legends including Steve Trovato and Frank Potenza.

Kevin can currently be seen playing at wine tasting events, country clubs, private parties and weddings, malls, and corporate events all over Southern California.  His recordings have been used by everyone from local singers and songwriters to HBO’s Six Feet Under.   Kevin’s unique teaching style has evolved over the last 15 years to stress the fundamentals of proper technique while encouraging his students’ sense of creative play on the guitar.
