“I wish I had started sooner!”

When I started learning the Clarinet, I found it hard to memorise the notes and play music. Learning through James, I was surprised at how quickly I was improving. I used to play years ago and have had 3 different teachers. None of them come close to the quality of his lessons. James has a way of making everything simple. There is no pressure and it makes learning incredibly fun. I strongly recommend.

“Excellent tuition and servicing”

It’s always been an ambition of mine to play the flute. Although my only musical experience was a recorder more than 40 years ago!! I searched online for lesson tutorials and found James. 3 months later I am playing and even beginning to sight read!! James is passionate, helpful and also came to my rescue when I needed it serviced!

“Fantastic”

I had never played an instrument before. I have always loved the sound of the saxophone but have hesitated over the years as it is something completely new to me. I contacted James who was very understanding and helpful. I had my first Zoom lesson and haven’t looked back since. I am really enjoying it and already playing in a band. Thank you.
