About James Pusey

Welcome to my profile! I enjoy teaching students of all abilities and finding the right ways for them to reach their goals. I teach RSL and Trinity Grades (classical/rock and pop/acoustic). I also tutor for GCSE and A Level Music. However, if Grades aren’t your thing we can learn songs, riffs, theory….whatever interests you! I have experience in many different styles and genres: rock, pop, classical, jazz, acoustic etc etc.

My career has spanned 2 decades, recent highlights include working with Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, The Proms with the Scottish Symphony Orchestra, West End Productions of MJ The Musical, Pretty Woman The Musical and We Will Rock You (Coliseum) as well working with artists such as Rumer and Toyah. I’ve also recorded guitars for various artists, some TV programmes and Netflix series.

I teach both online (Zoom/Teams) from my purpose built studio in the Bromley/Orpington area of SE London.

★★★★★

“James was recommended to me by son's piano teacher. My son (age 13) has been having lessons in classical guitar with James for around 6 months and is very much enjoying his lessons. He looks forward to his lessons with James and is making good progress. As a parent, I've always found James to have a very easy manner and he's responsive to any questions I have. Payment is straightforward and transparent and the email reminders for upcoming lessons are useful. I recommend James as a guitar teacher.”
