About James

Hello, my name is James, I'm 23-years old and I'm a teacher of electric, acoustic, classical and bass guitar. I've been playing in bands since I was 16, with styles varying from Punk to Indie to Psychedelia to Soul and Blues.

At university I received the Music Scholars' Award for the performance of my own instrumental compositions, in styles ranging from folk to modern jazz.

I have been producing my own music for many years in my home studio, and I will happily equip you with the skills to improve your abilities in songwriting and recording. If you would like some examples of the music I make I will happily provide them upon request.

Let's get rocking!

About the lesson

I mainly teach at beginner and intermediate level currently, as I still very much consider myself a pupil of my craft, though I gladly welcome players looking to expand their musicianship to more advanced levels.

I am well-versed in many styles and techniques, and have been offering lessons in technique and theory for the last year. I consider myself a very casual and fun teacher, and I like to cater my lessons to the passions and interests of my students. Essentially: you are the boss! Tell me what you would like to learn and we will make it happen, whether that be a thorough knowledge of your modes, scales or picking styles, or whether you simply want to learn to play your favourite songs!

In terms of structure, my lessons will depend on an initial assessment of my student's level, ability and ambitions. Once we're on the same page I will set the goalposts for a number of weeks, and we can monitor our progress together.

I look to start most lessons with exercises in the techniques and the theories we will cover over the course of the session, with a view to practically applying these skills by the end of the lesson by playing or writing a new song.

A more in-depth synopsis of any given lesson plan is available upon request!

I study Philosophy and Social Anthropology at the University of Manchester, and whilst I was writing my long essay coursework in 2ndyear, I sought the help of James Darley to proofread and edit my texts.
James took a precise and clinical vision on the structuring, wording and legibility of the essays by breaking down the document sentence by sentence on its strengths and areas for development.
James showed immense patience with his help, whilst also vindicating his English literature/language skills by improving the professional legibility of the essay to an impressive degree – likely achieving substantially more marks with his help.
James also used his experience in the education sector to provide useful exam/revision tips and tutoring that specifically concern the betterment of one’s academic performance in subjects involving English and writing.

James is a patient and sociable tutor and an all-round trustworthy and kind individual. James has helped me proofready my dissertation, which ended up recieving great marks. His careful, accurate, insightful and creative feedback allowed my work to achieve great linguistic flare. James approach is particularly useful, as aside from simply fixing grammatical and punctuation mistakes, he also offers creative ways of reworking sentences to optimise the language use.

I am very willing to travel to student's houses/preferred place of tuition, but past a certain distance rates may increase slightly to accommodate my travel costs.
