I’ve been playing music professionally since I was a teenager, and I have earned my Bachelors of Science in Music in 2017. Since I graduated, I have been very active in music community here in Florida, and have taught hundreds of lessons to students all over the state. I am skilled in playing guitar, drums, bass, piano, and I can even assist in voice and song writing lessons. What makes students gravitate towards me is that I make learning music fun and easy to do. Also, I have every instrument you need in my home studio, so students can get started even if they don't own an instrument just yet.

These benefits include -Discipline -Dedication -Confidence -Motor skills -Public speaking -Social skills -Communication skills -Cognitive thinking -Creative thinking and Tons more!

Great Instrutor

James is a very patience instructor. I took piano lessons many years ago as a child and always wanted to learn more. James was very reassuring and made me feel comfortable. I finally have the confidence to continue what I started many moons ago. Arlene wrote on Thu, 09 Jun 2016

    Very patience!

    Thank you James! I was not that good with music growing up. Drums and guitar looks so complicated and I was interested. He is very patience. I dont have good rhythm with music! After getting 1 or 2 beats right i was excited! Practice and lessons make Perfect?? I hope so! Layla wrote on Mon, 13 Jun 2016

      Very talented!

      James is a very nice and talented young man. He is very patient and adjusts his teaching to the needs of the student. My son had a good time and learned a lot in a short period of time. Sandra Palmer wrote on Mon, 29 Aug 2016

            Drum lesson

            I have never had any experience playing drums at all. James was great. He was very patient with me, but at the same time pushed me to challenge myself. James was always encouraging, and I look forward to my continued lessons with him. Trey wrote on Fri, 23 Jun 2017
