It's all about the teacher. IT REALLY IS. I want all my students to feel comfortable at their guitar lessons. It should be a special time out of the week to know you can relax, feel safe, open up, have fun, & learn to play guitar, & just share a special connection with eachother. My lessons/curriculums are always in the best interest of the student & bring more then just music and guitar into people's lives; I also know that with our time spot together, I want every word, every conversation to be informative, useful, productive, feeding musical knowledge & history into the time frame. Im very elementary & patient and passionate towards people and the way they learn because everyone learns differently. So I adapt to them. I know this has all worked out so well over the years because it stems from just always loving people and music, always being open minded and cultural, being sensitive & caring everyone & by studying/graduating college with my Early Childhood education degree ๐Ÿ‘Š... Totally use all of that and bring it together. So truly after 14 years, it's turned into such a success has taught me more by teaching and a dream come true! I will help/show my students physically how to hold a guitar, how to sit or position themselves properly, there's so much mental work happening when playing, it works you're entire body and mind and soul. I think what makes me stand out as a guitar teacher is I just LOVE what I do!! It's my joy to teach & Guitar Lessons with me is not/are not just a normal extra ".class" or some lousy boring educational program you gotta squeeze into the day, it's a blast!!! I find them to be also therapeutic & sharpening the mjnd/body/brain as well. Guitar lessons are for EVERYONE AND ANYONE; I don't believe in the words: boring or perfect. Be yourself, always.... Learning how to play guitar is empowering and totally boosts ones inner self esteem to a high where they never want to stop. It's an art, we continue to create, dream and reach places do things we never thought were possible. Playing the guitar is a treat, not a punishment. I'm blessed beyond words to do what I love & form wonderful life long relationships with my students, their families, & friends, etc. I'm know to be a natural cheerleader so it's easy for me to stay positive encourage and keep that energy going throughout the lessons. Doesn't matter who u are, where you're from, what age, gender, race, you are, none of that matters. We are all the same and it's time to PLAY MUSIC!!! And knowing I made a difference in someone's life, there's nothing more rewarding then that!! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸŽธ๐Ÿ‘Š Music is my life. It's the gift that keeps on giving and I've been doing this over 14 years!! I'll prolly never stop teaching. I've had over 450+ students & only want more-You should hire me because you'll never regret it and you learn a song on your first lesson!. I'm a free spirit & have an enthusiast attitude.... plus I'm very patient & anyone is welcome in my book. I want to be a blessing and change the lives of others.See more

Jeremy C. says, "I recently began lessons with James and I could not be happier! I have been aimlessly noodling on the guitar for the last 30 years or so and had become frustrated and bored with my lack of knowledge and direction. I've had 3 lessons so far and I can confidently say that my love for playing has been rekindled! James is knowledgeable, encouraging, and enthusiastic. There is a huge difference between being good at something and knowing how to TEACH that thing, and it is very apparent that James is a teacher, rather than just someone who can play. Don't get me wrong though, James can PLAY! Having a teacher with structured plans has been so much more valuable than watching random, disjointed youtube lessons, like I had been doing. James is meeting me where I am, and pacing the lessons so that I have plenty to take home and chew on without feeling lost or overwhelmed. Prior to my first lesson, I emailed him an overview of my playing history and what I wanted to learn, and we wasted no time and jumped right in. He has easily answered my barrage of questions in a way that I can truly understand, and I'm starting to wrap my mind around music theory in ways that I never thought I would be able to. Now I think about guitar all the time! I look forward to practicing and I pick up my guitar whenever I get a few minutes. Aside from his playing and teaching abilities, James is just a solid guy. I was admittedly a little intimidated demonstrating my skills in our first meeting, but all of my insecurities were immediately assuaged by his friendliness, and we clicked right off the bat. Outside of lessons, James is very communicative via text and flexible with scheduling. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone wanting to learn or improve at guitar!"See more
