James Pusey

I enjoy teaching students of all abilities and finding the right ways for them to reach their goals. I have a purpose built home studio, it's a relaxed environment and an ideal place to learn music. I tailor my teaching to each individual student but retain a focussed approach so students always know what to practice and work on but also why! I welcome students bringing in their own ideas to lessons as this will often lead into unexpected areas that students can really develop. I teach RSL and Trinity Grades (classical/rock and pop/acoustic). I also tutor for GCSE and A Level Music. However, if Grades aren't your thing we can learn songs, riffs, theory....whatever interests you! I have experience in many different styles and genres: rock, pop, classical, jazz, acoustic etc.

My career has spanned 2 decades, recent highlights include working with Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, The Proms with the Scottish Symphony Orchestra, West End Productions of MJ The Musical, Pretty Woman The Musical and We Will Rock You (Coliseum) as well working with artists such as Rumer and Toyah. I've also recorded guitars for various artists, some TV programmes and Netflix series.
