Ben Schenstead has been active in guitar performance and music education for over twenty years. Although specializing in classical and fingerstyle guitar, Ben has mastered a wide range of guitar styles. As a composer, he has written and recorded unique compositions which blend elements of Spanish folk music, jazz and rock music. He has taught classical guitar at the University of Saskatchewan Music Department for some twenty years, and at his own music academy. Some of Ben's classical guitar arrangements/transcriptions, music, and instructional material can be accessed from this page.
