Lessons
James is a competant pianist - he does not use backing tracks or studio recording equipment, preferring instead to personally accompany all students on a grand piano in his music studio.
He works hard to get to know students and set them at their ease and his pupils quickly get over any initial feelings they may have of embarrassment or shyness.
He is generous with time and aims to create a relaxed atmosphere. He says " I don't like to rush people, so we often sit down for a cup of tea first. I know from my own experience how important it is to feel at ease with your teacher."
Lessons are tailored to students individual needs and interests. Everyone is encouraged to sing their own choice of music and songs, but James will always offer advice on suitable repertoire.
Having studied and worked abroad, James has excellent language skills and many of his students will learn to sing repertoire in other languages - especially Italian, French and German.
