Strong Fundamentals
At Chuck James Music School our goal is to train students using a preferred curriculum, which allows students the ability to adapt to any musical situation that they may become involved with. We believe that teaching the fundamentals of music is extremely important for the proper development and enhancement of a person's musical ability.
Making Music Fun
Our goal is to make music education fun and exhilarating for our students, while still providing a structured learning approach that's necessary to achieve tangible results and help our students realize their musical dreams!
BEST TEACHERS FOR EVERY AGE
Our instructors are highly-skilled musicians, most having graduated from credible music schools, and also have extensive performance credentials. More importantly, our teachers strive to adapt their lessons to fit with each individual student's needs — from beginning to advanced. Our students currently range from 5 years old to students in their 70s.
