It was a joy to learn about classical music from Jim. My background is primarily in art and literature, and he often relayed information through metaphor so that it would be understandable to me in terms that I am am passionate about. We talked about phrasing like narrative arcs and about the importance of silence, the color of sound. What I loved most in learning from Jim is his passion and reverence for classical repertoire, especially Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven, and also his way particular appreciation for chamber music. He is no doubt a gifted player, but also a natural and vibrant teacher, who makes music come alive to everyone. He has an especially unique way of demonstrating varied ways musicians and conductors can interpret the exact same score, and this learning through comparison helped train my ear to become more discerning and to constantly pay more attention as a listener. I highly recommend Jim to serious students in viola or violin performance, but also to students like me who are looking to gain a greater understanding and appreciation of this art form but do not know how to begin. I can say with confidence with you will never think about music the same way again after lessons with Jim.
