Andi is great! I play piano but have been wanting to learn guitar for a long time. He is easy-going, knowledgeable, and was very open to hearing what I wanted to learn about in our lessons. Overall, great experience with Andi; I'm looking forward to continuing my lessons with him!

My 17 year old son has been taking guitar lessons with Nick for the last several months. We have worked with many music teachers over the years, Nick is the best of the best. He has truly sparked Humza’s connection with music again. He is technically masterful but not rigid which can often be the case. A true teacher at heart that cares about their student’s well being and learning journey. He has been such a wonderful addition to Humza’s routine during Covid. I cannot be grateful enough that we found Nick! Highly recommend him for anyone that is looking to reignite their musical connection and move your technique to the next level.

After my daughter’s first guitar teacher passed away, we were devastated and searched high and low for a new guitar teacher and ended up trying several teachers. Some teachers were technically excellent themselves, but lacked the empathy and positive encouragement to be able to teach children. Some teachers assigned many songs that were at the wrong level which just resulted in a lot of frustration.
We are so forever grateful that we finally found Paul. He is the needle in the haystack, a true gem of a teacher who is not only amazingly talented and extremely versatile (just listen to his music from his website http://paulhutchison.net ) but is also an excellent teacher with decades of experience and a huge repertoire of music.
What makes Paul an excellent teacher? He is so humorous and kindhearted, very inspirational and positive. I cannot emphasize how important those personality traits are in a music teacher. With the rare ability to quickly figure out my daughter’s guitar level, Paul customized the lessons to help her grow. Paul taught her music that stretched her abilities as a player in the best way possible.
A brief glance at the testimonials on Paul’s website and you’ll understand how wonderful of a teacher he is. He has taught someone who eventually became the songwriter, producer and guitarist for Katy Perry and has inspired other longtime students to study music in college.
An excellent teacher is someone who is compassionate, inspirational and has a love for his craft, someone who is able to challenge the student just the right amount and help the student develop to their fullest potential as a musician. Paul is all of that and our family feels very lucky to have found him!
