About James
Hi there! I am a highly qualified practitioner and tutor in music, theatre studies and English literature.
I graduated from the University of Melbourne with a first-class honours degree in English and Theatre Studies, and the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music with a Diploma in classical voice and music composition. I am currently studying my Masters degree at the Central School of Speech and Drama here in London!
I've worked for close to five years as a professional musician, both in classical settings and in pop ensembles for parties and events. I specialise in voice studies, but am also proficient in piano and guitar and can tutor early-level learning on these instruments. I can teach in diverse styles, ranging from classical pieces through to modern musical theatre and pop.
As a composer I have written widely for theatre, film and live-bands, including traditional songwriting, electronic composition, and an original opera thrown in as well! I'm very confident teaching music theory and technology at all skill levels and areas of interest; whatever sparks your interest, I'm here to help.
My University major was in English literature and theatre studies, where I received the highest mark for a thesis submitted to the school of culture and communication. At the moment I'm studying theatre-making at CSSD, so I'm particularly passionate about theatre and live performance. But I can cater to a variety of skill levels and needs in literary studies!
I aim to create a relaxed, fun learning environment tailored toward the needs and passions of my individual students. Music and literature should be exciting and inspiring, and I aspire to carry that spirit into my tutoring.
I'm well set-up for online lessons during the current lockdown situation – I can use Skype, Zoom or FaceTime for contact. I have high-grade audio equipment for a clear signal from both microphone and piano.
Please get in touch if you have any questions. I'm always happy to chat!

James tutored me in vocal studies and music theory for a year, and it was a fantastic experience. He is knowledgeable and committed, understands many different styles and techniques, and runs a really relaxed and fun lesson. If you’re looking to brush up on your theory, or to work on vocal technique in musical theatre and pop, he’s a great person to learn from.
James is a great tutor. Patient, enthusiastic and reliable. He went at my pace and listened for What I was interested in, while filling in gaps in my knowledge I didn't realise I actually needed to know.
Personally, James really believed I could learn this stuff, which was great for me because I was nervous about music theory; despite it being something I felt would help me, I was always nervous about it as an undertaking. But because of James' enthusiasm and love of his subjects, I started having fun straight away too, which definitely made our sessions something to look forward to. And now I love music theory!! It's amazing!
Thanks James!!View more recommendations
