Mehmet O. says, "I’ve been studying classical guitar with James for some time now, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. I’m 68 and play at an intermediate level, and James has been helping me build a meaningful and challenging repertoire that includes both intermediate and more difficult pieces. What stands out most is how he’s opened my eyes to the interpretive side of classical guitar—how great players bring their own voice to the music. For the first time, I feel empowered to explore my own musical expression, not just play the notes on the page. James is deeply knowledgeable about the guitar and its literature, highly professional, and an all-around kind and supportive teacher. I don’t have much experience playing in front of others, but he creates a comfortable, encouraging environment that really puts me at ease. I highly recommend him to any guitarist looking to grow—not just in skill, but in confidence and artistic identity. Five stars, without a doubt."See more

Mike L. says, "I've been taking lessons now for 3 months. Been totally enjoying sessions with James. He listens to my feedback, and also pushes me to continue learning always providing clear guidance and instruction. I was initially concerned about how online classes would work, that concern was removed pretty quickly with the professionalism that James presents. So happy I started classes with him!"See more

Xiaojie W. says, "The teacher has a very professional and well-structured teaching system. Each lesson is clearly organized with specific goals and steady progression. In terms of bass technique, the instruction is detailed and thorough — from fundamental finger positioning and tone control to rhythm stability. The teacher also places strong emphasis on groove and musical understanding, helping the student not only learn how to play, but truly understand how to perform. The pace of each lesson is well balanced: attentive to detail while still encouraging independent thinking and musical expression. Under the teacher’s guidance, the student has shown clear improvement in rhythmic consistency, tone control, and overall musicality. A truly dedicated, knowledgeable, and responsible instructor."See more

Gene C. says, "As an older student, my learning ability and retention are not as good as they were when I was younger. Michael has the patience to work with people who may need a little extra time to absorb new material. He explains things clearly and will spend extra time going over challenging parts of a lesson. I’ve had numerous teachers over the last 15 years and he is the best."See more

Anna L. says, "I've been taking lessons with Ian for over 7 years now. We started in person on ukulele. A year in, Covid came along and we shifted to virtual. I figured I would miss the in person lessons but virtual has been amazing and now I know they can be great if done well- which he does. And it's also nice to not have to leave the house! We have a shared Dropbox folder. He sends files to see and read and even recordings to practice along with in between lessons. Also, a couple years ago, I wanted to shift to guitar and so we did and it was seamless. He took much of what I learned on ukulele and used it to help me understand the guitar better. I still take lessons with Ian to this day and I couldn't recommend him more!"See more

James is wildly talented on the guitar, but he still has a way with beginners. He's down-to-earth, witty, and loves to see his students succeed. I've been taking lessons for just a month and I've seen major progress already.
