My first lesson with Jim was great. For me, Jim gave me all the pieces of a concept, where I could experiment with each part. He gave me a lot of information to go practice and experiment with. I'm a beginner and Jim is helping me push to the next level. It's exactly what I asked him for. Jim has the education and experience teaching so that he has the material and methods to help anyone.

I really enjoyed Jim’s teaching methods and that he took the time to answer all my question. Being a beginner, he was able to slow things down for me and I starting catching things about playing that I had missed before with others. His practice sheets were very organized and set up nicely. He’s ‘Top Jimmy’ in my book!
