"Over the past two years, James has brought me from not knowing what a chord was to being able to compose solos of genres from blues to shred and everything in between. His passion and deep knowledge of music will inspire any student of any skill level to become better musicians in whatever genre they prefer." Harrison Craven, Austin, TX
"James is such a patient, fun teacher! He has allowed our daughter the chance to develop a love for music while still teaching her along the way. My husband has enjoyed his lessons but especially tapping into James' wealth of knowledge about music history and techniques. We are so grateful to him for making music a part of our family. "
Karen Trenk, Austin, TX
"I met James when I was 11 years old and had never held a guitar in my life. We worked together for ten years and he taught me everything from how to tune a guitar to building solos over jazz patterns. James is not only an exceptional guitar player but more importantly a teacher. He's not just there to show you how to play but instead teaches and motivates you to personally invest yourself in the instrument and your progress. Fifteen years later I'm making a living off of what I learned with James and I can confidently say I wouldn't be here without him"

Testimonials
James loves music and wants to share that passion and appreciation with as many people as he can. He has a fun and laid back approach to teaching. No pressure or shaming from him. Just the knowledge that you only get better with time and effort.
James has taught my three boys both piano and guitar and made amazing musicians out of them. Both my older boys are now adults, but still find great joy in playing and creating music. My youngest has just moved from piano to guitar and I’ve seen a renewed passion for music from him. I highly recommend James as a private music teacher. I know my three children have all fallen in love with music and that is because of James’s passion for music and skill as a teacher.

"James is the best! With James having taught every member of my family everything from guitar to piano, I can confidently say that there is nothing about music he can't teach. The ideal tutor is one who enables reaching your full potential to the extent of your interest and diligence. James exemplifies that ideal."
John Bradley, Austin, TX
"Travel and my erratic schedule prevent me from carving out the time for local private lessons. Realtime Lessons has allowed me to keep getting lessons no matter where I am. James helped me setup my iPad in about 10 minutes and emailed me our lesson files. I love working with him and have learned so much."
