Performance Experience I am a guitarist and vocalist with over 20 years of experience. While studying at Berklee
College Of Music in Boston I played in many rock and jazz ensembles . I specialize in acoustic classic and modern rock and
play all over Connecticut, Rhode Island, and the greater New England area. For more formal events I also play classical guitar
and have a large repertoire of popular, classical, and jazz songs.
Education/Training
James Graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston in 1992 with a Fine Arts Degree. He also studied with renowned jazz
guitarist John Wilkins, jazz great Hal Crook and pop singer Livingston Taylor (James Taylors brother).
Personal
Statement
My method to teaching music and guitar is ever developing and changes depending on each students particular
interest and needs. I try to incorporate the type of music which the student wants to play into my lesson plan. I do try to
get students to learn to read music and to have a deeper understanding of music in general. I try to keep it fun. Learning
to play the guitar can be fun but it also requires lots of work. I try to balance the fun and the work to keep the student
headed in the right direction while remaining interested. Every student is different so I think it is important for a private
music teacher to be able to adapt to each students personal needs and interests.
