Yvonne Beamon + Parent of Band Aid Student

"James has been the mentor, producer, teacher and best friend to my son’s band, AfterMath for the past six years. The kids have developed musically in directions we couldn’t have possibly dreamed of and it wouldn’t have been possible without the patience and wisdom of James. Kids and parents have no idea what it takes to not only come together musically, but to grow the relationships in a band to keep them together. James covers the full spectrum.”

A.J. Vincenet + Playing Austin City Limits Fest

"James Mays is a special sort of person. He has a unique teaching style, keen observational skills, and a way of adapting his teaching style to an individual's skill-set. In my case, James taught me how to sing, and I am very thankful for that. It's in the way he lets you grow with time that really helps, and he reassures you of your progress. A very encouraging and positive person... it was a pleasure to work with him."

Livvy + Voted best teen bassist in America by School Jam USA Judges

"James Mays really helped me branch out musically. Before I started learning from James, I could barely play a few chords and now I know that this is what I want to do with my life. James talks to kids as equals unlike all the other teachers I've gone to.
