My Testimonials
Name of the person who provided this testimonial: Emma
After having grown up playing the clarinet but always dreaming of playing the saxophone, I took the plunge and took up the saxophone in September 2014. I was quite specific in knowing that I wanted to play current and modern music, and James’ profile really stuck out to me. Since then, I have had a lesson once a week, and have come on leaps and bounds. James’ style of teaching is informative and practical which has enabled me to learn at a fast speed. James seems to know when I have mastered something and adapts his pace of teaching to meet my development so that I get enjoyment from every lesson. I would highly recommend James as a private tutor, for all levels. His lessons are informative, engaging and fun, and I always come away feeling happy with my learning development.

I have been having lessons in improvising on Alto Sax with James for just over a year. His lessons are well structured and interesting. He has been able to answer all my questions with the type of enthusiasm that only comes with a lot of in depth knowledge and experience. I always leave the lesson feeling full of enthusiasm and raring to go. Brilliant!!

James teaches in a relaxed, fun and structured way. I have learned more from him in a few weeks than I have previously in 2 years! As a result my playing has improved greatly. I would highly recommend him as someone who can help you enjoy your learning and development.

We were advised by several teachers that Alessandro (7) was too young to play the saxophone. However, James embraced Alessandro's enthusiasm and desire to learn. As a result, Alessandro has made huge progress in 5 months. Alessandro particularly enjoys the pieces James gives him; James takes time to break down each piece with Alessandro, who is then keen to practice several times a day! They have a great rapour and Alessandro looks forward to his lesson each week. Alessandro is going to play at his school music concert this summer which he is looking forward to immensely. We unreservedly recommend James, it has been a pleasure watching Alessandro show so much enthusiasm and enjoyment from playing the saxophone.
