Hello!
I'm James Maxim, founder and sole teacher here at Maxim Music Lessons!
About Me
I have been playing guitar for over 10 years, starting my journey with a cheap Fender Strat copy on my 13th birthday and have since worked all the way through music education, attending a degree course at BIMM Brighton in 2015! I have also been performing since 2011, playing festivals all across the UK including Washed Out Festival, DIY Southampton and Southdowns Folk Festival, have supported the likes of Ian Miles (Creeper) and have self released my own music across streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music!
In 2023, I started the Maxim Music Lessons Free Beginner Acoustic Guitar Workshop programme, working closely with charities such as Young People's Shop Chichester and Chichester Boys Club and now, this has expanded, also offering a Songwriting Workshop for small groups!
Maxim Music Lessons has been created out of my lifelong love for music and my passion for wanting to teach people a way for them to express themselves creatively! Learning guitar has been an integral part of me forging an identity as a person, as an artist and has allowed me to completely express myself through my songs and I aim to be able to help my students achieve this aswell!
Thank you for taking the time to learn about me and Maxim Music Lessons, I look forward to seeing you in one of my lessons!
