Music finally clicked for my 8 year old son when James took violin lessons with him. his way of teaching through games and ear exercises turned practice into play, and now he plays folk songs with so much confidence. I'm loving the lessons at Forest Hills!

When he was nine years old, my daughter was determined to learn vibrato in Carmel. he is now playing with flare and control after James introduced him to quick exercises using mirrors and slow motion bowing.

The kind and supportive approach of James turned violin lessons into something my reserved daughter looked forward to. James ’s sessions at Cabrini Rowhouses were like a healing experience, nurturing both her love for music and her confidence.

I never followed through on my desire of learning to play the violin. Living in Yucca Corridor allowed me to begin taking lessons from James . his lessons are the ideal balance of support and difficulty. I feel like a true violinist at forty years old!
