James is a talented musician able to teach all ages. He encouraged me to return to the piano after a 40 year lay off and supported me through Grade 8 performance exam and beyond. He is fun and able to home in on the techniques and development needed to progress. I strongly recommend him if you want to learn and progress your musical journey.... More

James has been teaching myself and my two children gir the last three years requiring him to manage our different levels of experience and motivation to successfully guide us through our exams. He strikes a good balance between focus, discipline and fun encouraging a broader appreciation of piano through his knowledge and passion for music. I find it helpful the James always gives a contextual response to my questions inspiring me to learn more about music styles and theory to complement my practical piano playing. Some feedback from my daughterr (age 8) “when you make a mistake he helps you - he doesn’t just tell you he helps you”. Less
Been with James for around a year now. At first we went though some grade 1-3 music books which helped teach me good technique with his oversight. That gave me a great foundation and I have since learned all of the major scales and most of the minors. James also let me compile a list of pieces I wanted to learn and each lesson we progress one or some of them. I can now play numerous difficult p... More
Been with James for around a year now. At first we went though some grade 1-3 music books which helped teach me good technique with his oversight. That gave me a great foundation and I have since learned all of the major scales and most of the minors. James also let me compile a list of pieces I wanted to learn and each lesson we progress one or some of them. I can now play numerous difficult pieces that I wasn't sure I would ever be able to do! I also like that he travels to me making it really stress free and I think it's a bonus learning on the instrument I will also practice on. Less

An amazing and patient tutor who understands how to teach and break down theory for beginners

I thoroughly enjoy my lessons with James; he's an exceptional music teacher. His approach challenges me to step outside my comfort zone, yet he does so with kindness and encouragement.

Teacher James has helped my 12 year old son enjoy piano lessons. When I was a kid, only in-person piano lessons were available so I always marvel at how he can effectively teach the lessons halfway across the globe! Teacher James is very patient and his teaching style is very laid back so I feel that it really helps my kid concentrate on the lessons better. Don't be fooled by his Clark Kent de... More
Teacher James has helped my 12 year old son enjoy piano lessons. When I was a kid, only in-person piano lessons were available so I always marvel at how he can effectively teach the lessons halfway across the globe! Teacher James is very patient and his teaching style is very laid back so I feel that it really helps my kid concentrate on the lessons better. Don't be fooled by his Clark Kent demeanor, because he's a Superman teacher as far as his knowledge of music theory is concerned! :) Thanks a lot Teacher James - my wriggly 12 year old looks forward to his piano lessons every week!
