Benjamin Bruant

Passionate about guitar from an early age of seven, I went on to study at
the Music School of Le Havre, my home city in France.
Fifteen years later, I moved to Paris in order to improve my technique and
nourish my passion. I had the chance there to study with Pedro Ibanez,
teacher at the National Conservatory, who has brought my musicianship up
to a high level of accomplishment.
Following my three years of study in Paris, feeling that I could still learn
and improve myself, I moved to London where I studied with Michael
Lewin at the Royal Academy of Music. I have had the opportunity to meet
the best guitarists from all over the world. I have improved myself by
listening to them and have reached the highest level of playing.
Life is a continuous school and I hope to improve myself even more each
day in order to perform my music to the best that I can for my whole life.
