“James has exceeded my wildest expectations with my son! I never expected his drumming abilities to be this advanced at such a young age. James challenges him to think outside the typical musical box. No matter your age, If you want to learn to drum I would take a tour of the studio and see what he has to offer. Capable, intelligent, classically trained and completely laid back... James is “The Man”.”

“Our daughter has been taking lessons from James for a few years now. She has advanced beyond expectations due to James’ support, encouragement, knowledge, expertise and ability to keep learning interesting and fun. He also keeps parents in the loop about their child’s progress and is always willing to answer questions. James is the best!”

“I highly recommend JAM Academy! James is an amazing drummer, and more importantly, an excellent teacher. He incorporates technology into his lessons, and our 9 year old has shown tremendous improvement in the last several months. He is patient, motivated, silly, and makes sure that the student is having fun, while also pushing him/her to their fullest potential. Our son is having a lot of fun while also becoming a solid drummer!”

“James is a phenomenally talented, knowledgeable muscian who goes all out. Wow! He passionately teaches with enthusiasm, wit, and a desire to keep it informative, fun, and inspiring. From help tuning instruments and reading music, to learning to entertain, he doesn’t skip a beat. With complex rhythms and groves, he keeps it challenging. Thanks James.”
