What Students are Saying...
Many people are gifted musicians, many are passionate about music, and many others are great teachers. James Graham has the unique blend of all three. As a musician, he has a thorough understanding of music theory. What makes James stand out as a teacher, is his ability to break down that knowledge in a way that makes it meaningful to his students. His sense of humor, depth of knowledge, and interpersonal skills make learning fun. If a student is a child, an adult, experienced pianist or vocalist, or novice, James takes it from there.

As an experienced singer I was not expecting to learn much in sessions but to be critiqued and guided, I was wrong! James challenged me to use my voice in ways I had never thought possible. Coming out of his classes my knowledge about myself and my ability greatly improved. His teaching style is to not only increase the student's ability and performance, but to also teach the historical, physiological and methodical reasoning behind each of his practices. I still feel today that his classes are the highest quality that I have ever experienced.

My daughter studied piano with James for about two years. James is an excellent teacher. James is patient, kind, honorable, and a student of his craft. I highly recommend James as a teacher for your child.

James Graham brought out more of my vocal abilities than any other coach... I've seen many "Vocal Coaches" but none with the depth of knowledge and abilty to relate that knowelege to their students that James does. I utilize the lessons that I learned from James every time I sing.

My daughter enjoyed learning from James very much and learned a lot of new things. She loved going to her lessons and he was very nice. We loved to get the chance to hear her perform at her very first recital. James is an awesome teacher for any student and is very thourough. Not a penny was wasted on this time in my daughter's life. Thank you James!

I really enjoyed taking vocal lessons from James Graham! He helped me consider more thoughtfully what approach to singing I should study and was prepared to help me in any style I wanted to learn, be it classical or pop singing. He designed my lessons to teach me what I needed and wanted to learn! I even teach his breath control techniques and exercises to some of my (trumpet) students!
