James Speer, Functional Movement Education Therapist (1994)
Growing up in a music family, James has gratefully been surrounded by music his whole life.
In 8th grade, he was seated as the 1st chair for Trumpet in the New York Junior High
School All-State Band (encompassing the whole state).  Herb Alpert and the Tijuana brass being his idol, he learned all their songs by heart, luvin’ it!

When sometimes having to experience dogma and rigid teaching from otherwise good intentioned regimented music instructors, James realized that his best developmental moments as a musician came when he was “cut some slack” and allowed to creatively explore his Self, his instrument, and the relationship between the two.

As a Functional Movement Educator, James loves working with musicians.  James’s forte is playing the trumpet.  Also being familiar with playing keyboards and a little bit of guitar, musicians are his kin.  James was destined to be a professional trumpet player.  However, after becoming obsessed with the genius music of the world's greatest rock band, Led Zeppelin, this changed his focus in his musical taste.  After having finally met Robert Plant, James realizes that he is the world's absolute nicest guy.

After a 10-year successful career with Eastman Kodak Co. as a mechanical engineer, in 1994, James completed the 4-year training regarding the work of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais.  He has twice presented Movement Education for the International Association of Fitness Professionals at their World Fitness Expo & Conventions.  James treats all patients having neurological or orthopedic conditions, improving their mobility and action.  He currently plays and performs with the American TCM Orchestra in Los Angeles.
