Dr. James has a Doctor of Music from Yale University and teaches at UCLA. More than just ivory and ebony, the piano is an instrument of boundless storytelling – and I've dedicated the last 40 years to helping students find their unique voice through its keys. As an award-winning pianist myself, I bring both experience and a deep passion to every lesson, guiding students of all levels to reach their full musical potential. Let's embark on a rewarding journey of musical discovery together!
"Had another solid lesson with James. He has helped me focus on the songs I need to nail down as a foundation, and continues to push me to try work on new more challenging ones.

""I never thought piano could be this cool. I’m playing music from games I’ve loved for years, and now I’m even making my own."

I have been playing piano for 18 years and have taught it to student of various ages, from children to adults. My approach is judgement free and focused on the individual goals of each student!
"I am in my 50s and always wanted to return to piano after taking lessons as a child. My lessons with Petra wildly improved both my technique and my understanding of musicality. With her I played everything from Beethoven to Thelonious Monk and I was able to work solely on the pieces that I was interested in. She was very understanding of my busy schedule and really tailored the lessons to fit my interests which I so appreciated.
