About James
At JnK Music Lessons, students will enjoy one-on-one instruction with the experienced performer musician, James Nobriga, as their own private instructor.
Lessons will focus on learning to play an instrument with confidence, playing songs that interest the student and build fundamental skills, learning music theory that applies to the student's situation, percussion section and drumline individual coaching, learning how to perform with other musicians in a band, and composing their own original songs, depending on the student's interests or situation.
As a musical director for over 10 years, and a performer on Guitar, Piano, Bass, Marching Percussion, Symphonic Percussion, and Drum Set for over 25 years, James Nobriga has the experience to take your playing to the next level. His specific performing experience includes Worship Bands, Jazz Combos, Pop-Rock Bands, Blues Bands, Symphonic Bands, Marching Bands and is currently in an internationally performing Beach Boy Tribute Band and an original band he and his wife formed called 'Changing Names'. They both collaborate to compose music for this band that has music videos on You Tube and albums available in stores online.
James earned his Bachelors of Music degree from San Jose State University in 2001, where he studied percussion
under Anthony Cirone, author of the very popular 'Portraits in Rhythm', and marched in the Spartan Marching Band under the direction of Scott Pierson for over 4 years. James was recruited with a scholarship to play with the pep band and Marching Band at SJSU out of his high school, Milpitas High, where he had also marched for 4 years and earned awards and accolades, including the Louis Armstrong award for Jazz drumming and a spot in the Santa Clara county honor band.
In 2007, James was hired as the musical director for the contemporary worship band at Calvary Church of Los Gatos. This same year, he opened his first lesson studio in the same location, and continued directing and teaching there until 2018 when he and his wife moved to relocate the lesson studio to the Revival Center Church's building in Clovis, CA.
I am passionate about creating music, performing music and seeing students succeed in learning how to play an instrument and make music on their own!

James teaches so many different instruments, has a great demeanor with kids, and comes up with new, fun ideas like a studio band with live performances and video recordings. My son had never had that experience before and had a great time with it!
Both my kids enjoyed taking lessons and performing in the studio band at JNK. James is a very talented artist and has a lot of patience. The end of the year performances were by far my favorite. James when out of his way to make sure each kid had a shining moment and really put on a fun show for both the kids and parents. I highly recommend JNK!!!
James is great at inspiring my daughter with a love of music and drumming. He's very knowledgeable, fun and also patient when teaching kids and my daughter loves his lessons. He has a very good structure for his class and also a great incentive system to keep the student practicing and interested in music.
Katie is also very helpful in arranging schedules and always trying her best to accommodate our schedule for any changes.
They also have a very easy-to-use online system for calendar and online payment, which is not always available for other music teachers.
Jame's studio band class is also very fun and the being part of a final product of a well-made music video of a student band is an amazing experience for my daughter. Sad to know James is leaving the area and I'm sure he'll do a great job in the new town he's moving to.James has been an incredibly patient and encouraging music teacher for my 13 year old daughter - who would LOVE to play the piano, but has been reluctant to devote time to the practice that is required to make progress. James has had lots of different ideas and has continued to motivate Zoë throughout her 12 months of lessons with him. Katie has been a rockstar when we've needed to reschedule lessons, always taken care of swiftly and efficiently. We are sad that they are leaving the Bay Area and wish them well in their new adventures.
Our children received excellent musical instruction from James. He created a wonderful learning environment for our three children -all different ages. He understands how to motivate and support children, while providing the very best musical instruction. In addition, he is a master at teaching multiple instruments, which meant my children could try out other instruments in his studio. This is an essential plus, especially for families with young children who are still feeling out their musical preferences. If you want musically happy kids, you will love James as we do!
James is patient with my child who may or may not always practice. He also keeps my child interested and excited to learn and keep learning guitar.
James is a top notch music teacher. He's great with kids and able to bring out the best from the students. Very personable. Two thumbs up!!!
My 7 year-old daughter has been taking piano lessons with James for the last year. He's a wonderful instructor and so patient. He's knowledgeable, kind and has a positive attitude. He encourages my daughter while also being firm so she understands his expectations. We feel fortunate to have found James!
James has taught my son Bass, Guitar, Piano and has been an excellent teacher and mentor for the last 5+ years. He is beyond patient and teaches to how your child learns. Positive attitude, good communication, inspiration and helping your child push through are what has kept us coming back year after year.
James Nobriga was extremely patient, kind and knowledgeable. My daughters learned so much during their lessons with him. I highly recommend JnK music lessons.
James was a very good teacher and he helped me learn quickly. It was fun and I learnt a lot!
Terrific
