“James has been very friendly and patient, he has adjusted the lessons to suit our teenage granddaughter. Helping her to learn and play music that she enjoys listening to, regenerating a very keen interest in playing the piano.” - Deborah

Music is a universal language all of us can understand. James is passionate about it! Playing the piano, has been a massive part of his life for as long as he can remember. Why? It's how he communicates in a deeper way than words and it brings pleasure to others as well as himself. It's this 'feeling' that James relishes sharing with others.
If you're at the beginning of your music playing journey, always had a desire to 'try' an instrument, dipping your toe into the waters of learning, have a daughter or son who would like to experience learning in a supportive, friendly environment where fun is the key objective, then please do send James a message. Of course, if you're a little more advanced, the fun won't stop but sessions can be set at a level appropriate to you.
Having worked in education specialising in interventions to support students finding academic subjects difficult, particularly maths, James’s approach has always been to make lessons enjoyable and a positive experience for both student and teacher.
“James is a great person who is flexible in the way he approaches teaching. He takes his time to understand your goals and tailors his lessons and teachings accordingly. He really loves music and you can tell. I am very satisfied.” - Stefan
“I've been taking piano lessons with James and it’s been a great learning experience. Every lesson is fun, easy to follow and I can see my progress. Highly recommended!” - Maurizio
