He is a gifted songwriter and singer who can enhance your classroom experience through the wonderful sounds of a live performance. Through your own lesson plan (or an adaptation of the generic one included here), he works his magic with your students.

James says, "The idea of teaching with music isn't new. Music is a powerful communicator of issues, values, emotions... and it also happens to be lots of fun! I have been fortunate to have many special and powerful moments with some very insightful kids over the years."


Performing songs that capture a moment or a decade, James is at ease in the intimacy of the classroom. You'll find lots of ways to use his talents and your students will thank you for it.
