"In 5th grade my son started guitar with James. My son now 22 is an avid guitar player. He plays both acoustic and electric; classical, rock, eclectic, jazz blues and more. He has been in CU Boulder Jazz since his freshman year, and has played for the pure love and joy of the instrument. James Albert instilled in my son a passion for getting better, for appreciating the different studies of guitar and practice. James is a very patient and understanding teacher, he has the ability to tap into whatever means necessary to bring out the very best potential in his students. I have remained in awe of his integrity, love of teaching, and dedication to devising learning plans based on the individual needs of each student. Pam Haynes, Golden CO.
"I am amazed at how James customizes my sons piano lessons. We bring James many different songs and he is able to transpose anything. He is really a unique teacher." Julie Messa, Golden CO
As a teacher James excels in his versatility to teach others what people need to learn and want to learn. In any given lesson he will spend time going over music theory, reviewing prior lessons, then he will switch gears and show you why music is magical." piano student, Golden CO
"My two sons have taken lessons from James for the last seven years. He is their first choice for guitar instruction and they have gone back repeatedly after breaks for schooling and after other life transitions. I have seen their respect and admiration for James over the years. I have enjoyed seeing them excel in their skills and develop greater passion and enthusiasm for the instrument because of James."
