Jim is providing beginner lessons to my two girls, ages 7 and 9. We've had 5 lessons to date, and the girls love it. They're picking things up very quickly. He's extremely patient! Great with kids and makes lessons fun.

I have only been taking the lessons for less than two months, but I absolutely love them! Jim is so clear in the teachings, patient, and encouraging. He is also very flexible in class timings and easily offers alternatives if one class needs to get cancelled or rescheduled. I was very nervous when I first started the classes (being almost 30 and never have had music lessons!), but Jim made everything seem so simple and achievable. He is a great instructor!

I am enjoying my piano lessons a great deal. James is helping me establish my own plan, learning at my own rate. He is always ready for me when I get to his house and has a beautiful grand piano that I enjoyed playing.

Jim is a great teacher. He's very skilled and accomplished (I was surprised my daughter could be taught by a former university professor!), yet very patient with beginning students. He's also very willing to move the schedule around as things come up. My daughter has a great foundation in piano and now in reading music as well, thanks to Jim!
