Testimonials

"Working on The Fantasticks with James in Otterbein Summer Theatre 2014 was a wonderful experience. His expressive playing, well-executed ensemble work with the cast and with me as pianist, and his preparation and command of the demanding harp part, were all outstanding!"
Dennis Davenport
Otterbein University
"I respect James for many of his qualities but most of all because he is able to connect with his students and customize their piano lessons according to their strengths. James is a very positive and encouraging teacher who is able to make confident self-motivated piano players out his students. I highly recommend James as a teacher and encourage future students to experience his contagious passion and love of music first hand!"
Rona B.
