"I started having Alexander Technique lessons with James because I was having problems with pain in my wrists and hands which was disabling me from playing the violin. Within a very few lessons the tension and pain miraculously disappeared. The lessons with James not only sorted out the pain but also improved my playing as I became much more aware of how to use my body. I would highly recommend him."

I have been having alexander lessons with James for many years now, and I will definitely continue to have lessons with him for many years to come. His teaching is powerful without being pretentious or mystifying, and always leaves me feeling utterly transformed. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone who wanted to enjoy the benefits of studying the Alexander technique.

"I started having lessons with James because I was experiencing shoulder and neck pain whilst singing and playing the piano. James has taught me to "speak" to my body in a positive way so that I can let go of tension and move with freedom and confidence. My voice feels much more resonant after lessons and it has been a joy to bring this newfound sound into my gigs and practice (which I am now doing more of!) James is a brilliant communicator and I always come away from lessons with fascinating new insights into how the Alexander Technique can improve my musicianship."
