About
When it comes to teaching music, I've always been supremely open-minded and unjudgemental. To me, each student, no matter their age or level, is a unique individual, with unique and individual obstacles and issues. Along with my high level of academic success, I have also approached music from a very personal perspective, which I encourage all of my students to do as well. If you want to work from a standardized curriculum, following a preset program, I may not be a teacher for you. If you want individual attention, and a true mentorship experience, please consider me. I've always been inspired by the students that I teach. I consider myself a lifetime student, just the same as my students, perhaps just a little further down the road. Having a student discover something new is always exciting.

I had a great lesson with Jim. By the end of the first class I'd been able to try a few different types of saxophones and just about play notes on each of them, despite never having even held a Saxophone prior to that. He had a very relaxed style and even took the time to suggest music to listen to once the class had finished. I'd definitely recommend classes with him to friends or anyone else wanting to learn.

Having previously worked with Jim, he is not only a talented performer, but also an insightful and educated teacher. Consistently, Jim was able to inspire me, coach me, and better my playing. I would highly recommend working with him on anything from fundamentals to professional level material.

Jim Piela is without a doubt one of the most hardworking, talented and professional musicians out there. Having worked with him over the years, his determination to improve not only his own artistry but that of everyone around him is inspirational. I've benefited from simply being around him and can guarantee that anyone who is looking to grow musically will do so with Jim.
