About James

- What kind of experience do you have?

I have experience both in teaching one-to-one instrumental lessons in Piano, Singing and Guitar. I have taught these instruments to both children and adults of many different levels and abilities.
I also have a number of years teaching choral singing to both beginners and experienced musicians. I have been Musical Director and Composer for the theatre company BurntOut Theatre for the last 4 years. Reviews of my composition work include: "Dreamy choral harmonies" (TimeOut), "The onstage singing, an evocative mix of psalms, hymns and folk tunes, composed and led by James Reynolds, creates an enjoyably atmospheric ambiance" (The Stage), "Really powerful" (BBC Radio 1)
My choral compositions have been sung by renowned choirs in the UK.
I am also a successful composer for Television - my piano compositions have been widely broadcast on BBC, ITV and Channel 4, in programmes such as Poirot, Lewis and Paralympic Games coverage. You can listen to my compositions here: (concealed information)
I am also an experienced singer and performer and singer-songwriter. I perform regularly at the renowned Troubadour, Earls Court. You can hear my recordings here: (concealed information)
