One-to-one sessions built around how you learn. Come to my studio, or I'll bring the teaching to you.
Every student gets a personalised roadmap. I listen first, then build a plan that matches your pace, your goals, and your schedule — no cookie-cutter curriculums.
We talk through your goals, your current level, and what kind of music gets you excited. No pressure, just clarity.
Hands on the keys from minute one. I'll assess where you are, set a realistic timeline, and make sure you leave with something you can actually play.
Weekly or fortnightly lessons, at my studio or yours. I adapt as you progress, always pushing you just enough.
Students who want it get a performance goal — a recital, a recording, or just playing for friends. It changes everything.
No experience needed. We start with posture, basic technique, and your first real piece — often in the first session.
You can play, but you've hit a ceiling. We rebuild technique, expand your repertoire, and get you unstuck for good.
Serious players ready to compete, record, or simply reach a higher standard. Demanding, specific, transformative.
Both options work beautifully — I've designed the experience around either setting, so there's no compromise on quality.
Mostly: people surprise themselves.
"I tried two other teachers before James. The difference is he actually listens. Within six weeks I was playing a piece I thought was years away."
"He comes to our house and my son genuinely looks forward to Tuesdays now. That alone is worth everything. The progress is just the bonus."
"I'd plateaued for two years. James identified the root cause in the first 20 minutes and we've been fixing it ever since. Genuinely changed how I play."
