I stopped playing for 30 years
"Great instruction and extremely knowledgeable. I stopped playing for over 30 years and wanted to start playing classical guitar and to learn how to read music. James has helped guide me down this path with a systematic and fun approach. I highly recommend him for players of all levels."

Understand the Music!
"James is not only an exceptionally talented classical guitarist but he connects to the deep roots of music. His research infuses culture and history bringing these notes to a modern audience. As a teacher he is able to pass on not just the ability to play a song but to build the foundation to truly understand the music."

Patricia - St Augustine
It’s never too late!
"I started guitar lessons with James at Baird Guitar Studio this summer with zero experience, and I’m loving it! James is a patient, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable teacher who makes learning feel fun, approachable, and genuinely rewarding. The lessons are fun, well-paced, and tailored to me. I’ve already learned to read music and play my first song! I highly recommend James to any adult looking to learn to play - It’s never too late to start something new!"
