Introduction
Hey my name is Andrew, and I have been teaching and performing for over 10 years! I am currently offering both virtual music lessons and in-person lessons in/around the Philadelphia area. I would love to hop on a phone call with you to talk about your musical goals and how we can get there! See below for a blurb on my professional and musical journey. My love of music and songwriting started in middle school, and has taken me across continents in my quest to spread the joy of learning and creating music. After years of piano and trombone lessons in elementary school, I fell in love with the guitar and studied both jazz guitar and orchestral trombone throughout high school. I graduated cum laude with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music from Wesleyan University before taking a teaching opportunity to devise and teach a songwriting class to high schoolers entitled “In My Own Voice” in South Africa! Upon returning to the states, I joined the K-8th grade Alexandria Country Day School in Virginia and led their chorus program as well as the band ensemble and the junior high symphonic orchestra. I pride myself on giving my students agency in choosing their material and guiding their learning to allow them creative control. These days, I am the front man for my band, FeelFree, which recently won best reggae album at Washington DC’s Wammy Awards and performs about 70 shows a year. I have three albums out on all digital streaming services like Spotify/Apple Music with over 10k active monthly listeners. When I’m not songwriting, teaching or performing, I enjoy cooking and challenging others to funny-face competitions. I am currently offering piano, guitar, trombone, and songwriting/composition lessons.

Andrew is the best piano teacher we've had after going through quite a few! He understands what it takes to light a fire of interest in my kids, making it fun and exciting. My kids look forward to their sessions with him and have naturally found the time to practice without it feeling like a chore. Highly highly recommend Andrew!

Andrew is the best!! We can’t believe how lucky we were finding him in Thumbtack. His passion for music, his patience and care with my kid, and his commitment to learn music in a fun and individual way is clear and so heartwarming. I know that my kid is on the way to have a mean for self expression that he will carry with him his whole life. ❤️

Andrew is a phenomenal piano instructor!!! no question about it. My son has several activities and his time with Andrew is by far his favorite. I can't say enough positive things about him.

Andrew is a dedicated teacher with an amazing and diverse background. He provided a classical foundation for my son while allowing him to explore other music he picked. My son is learning to play the piano at 17 (wow!) thanks to Andrew!

Andrew has been teaching our teen for 1 year, mixture of virtual and in person lectures. She has made a significant progress after starting guitar lessons with Andrew, without having any prior experience with guitar and now plays several of her favorite songs. She has fun during her lessons and is motivated to play guitar without us having to remind her. Andrew is very easy to communicate with, responds quickly and is accommodating should there be a need to change a lesson last minute. He also has excellent work ethic - always on time and works with us to make sure lessons are given in an environment we are comfortable with given current state of pandemic.
