I'm a 74 year old retired man. I have always loved acting but have had some minor challenges due to bad eye sight and I'm not that computer savvy. Jim helped me learn how to use an I-pad my grand daughter gave me to help me expand fonts to read scripts. Though I'm only doing this so far for a hobby, I can see huge improvement in my ability to memorize scripts and act convincingly. Jim encouraged me to audition for the community senior center's drama club. I couldn't believe it I got right in and enjoying meeting new people (I'm widowed). Jim has been a Godsend. I'm finding new joy and I'm enjoying seeing local theatre productions. I appreciate his kind, patient, and professional matter. Acting lessons with Jim is what got me through the horrible isolation during Covid quarantine. He is also incredibly knowledgable on health such as veganism, breathing/meditation and is encouraging me to get into a healthier lifestyle. My voice/sinuses improved after giving up dairy. I used to get chronic sinusitis. So I feel acting has been beneficial to my overall health. Though Jim is pricier than other teachers in the area... I believe you pay for what you get. The extra money I pay is well worth it. The two other acting coaches I used before Jim...were mediocre and treated me like an invalid. Jim continues to inspire me to be the best I can be in all areas of my life. I consider him a good friend and he is one of the best educators out there.

You are my #1 piano teacher! Thank you for being there for me all these years and for putting up with me and my tendency to forget sharps and flats. It is always a ton of fun playing duets with you and spending time with you.

Stella is a brillant, creative teacher. She has a terrific rapport with her students and uses multi-modality teaching to nurture musical talent. My 6-year-old daughter said "She is a creative, loving person and she teaches very well"

Becky is very patient with me. She is a kind person and I never felt intimidated. She is an excellent musician, as well as an excellent instructor. I purchased her CD and was amazed by her talent. She's awsome.
