Meet Your Instructor

Hi, I'm James Rumble

I've been playing guitar for over 20 years. My passion for music spans across a variety of styles — from rock and metal in my younger years, to blues, funk, pop, and classical music.

Currently, I perform with White Noise, a professional wedding and function band. You can check us out at whitenoiseband.uk and on Instagram.

Alongside performing, I’ve spent over 2 years teaching guitar to students of all ages, from young children in an extracurricular program designed to introduce them to playing in a band, to adults looking to refine their skills. I also work for a music trust teaching music in schools around Kent during the day time.

I believe that learning music is a journey for everyone, regardless of age or experience, and I’m passionate about helping students achieve their goals.
