Having now had quite a few lessons with James I am learning how to play the trumpet properly this time.. James is very knowledgeable on trumpet technique which always leaves me with plenty to think about and practice on. The warm up practice plus his recommended song books are spot on. Also a v friendly and patient teacher. He is definitely inspiring me to practice as much as I can and I look forward to every lesson.

James is an excellent member of the team, he delivers high quality tuition and is very articulate. He is reliable, punctual, puts in extra effort and is passionate about music.

James is an expert communicator providing lessons with a blend of clarity,structure and a sense of fun.His wealth of knowledge in the field of music is vast,and he has an impressive track record in multiple areas of the industry including teaching,composition, improvisation solo, and ensemble performance.He demonstrates expertise in multiple styles of music and has the rare ability of being able to communicate the elements of these styles in a way that is fully tailored to the individual.
