Hi, I’m Ben Lewis-Smith — a London-based musician, educator, and dad, passionate about helping people discover (or rediscover) the joy of making music.
I hold a Master’s degree in Music from the University of Oxford and work as Director of Music at St Columba’s Church of Scotland, Knightsbridge. Alongside a busy performing and conducting schedule, I created Knightsbridge Music to share what I’ve learned over years of professional experience — and to make piano learning accessible, personal, and inspiring.
Whether you're a complete beginner or returning to the piano after a break, my approach is simple: music is for everyone. You can learn from the comfort and privacy of your own home, at your own pace, with courses that are designed to fit around real life — especially if you’re juggling work, family, or both (like me!).
Everything I teach is grounded in the real-world musical situations I face every day. I want to give you more than just notes and repetition — I want to offer insight, encouragement, and give you the tools that genuinely make you a better musician.
If you’re looking to spark your love of music for the first time, or to relight that flame after years away, you’re in the right place. I’d love you to join me on this journey and become
part of the growing Knightsbridge Music community.
Ben
Music is for everyone!
