James Guglielmo Piano And Voice Studio

James always meets me where I am in my pursuit of piano playing. Having him as an objective observer of what my hands are doing can make a huge difference when I am trying to learn a new piece of music. Writing out the fingering is important, but often a tough passage for me can be made so much easier after he has seen how I am attempting to make those fingerings work. Also, he is always eager to draw the connections in music from Bach, to jazz standards, to even Christmas carols and holiday tunes. Chords and scales are important to, but often the feel that James points out turns simple exercises into music.

He is an artist who shares his endless knowledge and experience wholeheartedly. He has the patience of a Saint and is always positive. Even when not totally prepared, I always leave feeling a sense of accomplishment.

Level of professionalism with an excellent and talented musician
