Exams can be very helpful for students in setting and reaching goals, but it is the personal satisfaction that comes with the study that is its own reward. James can help you find your confidence to face these challenges with full success.

Ensemble Work
Playing with any ensemble, whether with piano, strings, wind band or even a full orchestra, is the greatest reward one can have as a musician. To be able to do that succesfully, I like to ensure my students have a nice, full sound that can be heard within a group, strong rhythmic vitality that allows one to play with the other musicians as well as good intonation.
