James supported me with the performance aspect of my National 5, Higher, and Advanced Higher Music exams at secondary school, helping me to achieve A’s in all of them. Outside of education, he helped me to achieve a distinction in both my ABRSM Grade 5 Music Theory and ABRSM Grade 6 Alto Saxophone Practical exams. We are currently working towards my Grade 7 in the latter.
James is an incredibly friendly, patient, and understanding teacher whose knowledge of and proficiency with the saxophone are second to none. He also has a general expertise in music which he used to help me while I was studying for a Bachelor’s degree in Music at university. James is very good at explaining things in a way you can understand and gives fair and honest feedback on performances and other work. James has not just shaped me as a saxophonist but also as an all-round musician, as he has helped me to develop my aural, critical/analytical, and compositional skills.
