Beginning at an early age James has been sitting at the piano allowing sounds to come forth. A relative “late bloomer,” James went back to school at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire and completed his bachelor of Arts in Music Composition at the age of 53. Creating music that is fresh and engaging, James is available for commissions of original works as well as arranging existing music to fit any collection of instruments. Scores are available for purchase and performance.
