"I'm James, and I'm willing to help you pursue your future musical endeavors! It always empowers me to see new people who find a new interest in music, and it is inspiring to see how their skills develop over time. I am currently available to teach guitar, bass and beginner vocals. I am also and experienced songwriter and enjoy helping others to write their own songs. I also encourage students to grow their abilities by learning as much as they can by ear, enabling them to apply this skill to their own music.

Over the course of my life I have about 13 years of musical experience, as I grew up in a very musical family. I have been teaching music lessons privately for about 2 years. I have also been volunteering at a local community center, teaching various aspects of music to various children and young adults. I was accepted to the Berklee College of Music for guitar in the year of 2021, however I have chosen to defer my plans due to financial concerns and high levels of uncertainty during these chaotic years. I instead chose to spend the year furthering my musical abilities and making efforts to build a sustainable career in music.

I will work my absolute hardest to ensure my students are as inspired by music as myself. I highly emphasize the value of songwriting as a tool to improve skills on one's instrument, to expand their musical vocabulary, and to continually inspire them to improve as a musician. Feel free to reach out with any further questions, and good luck on your musical journey!" less...
