Introduction
Guitar & Piano lessons • Musician and Multi-Instrumentalist for hire • Solo Guitarist & Pianist • BM Degree - Jazz Performance • 15+ years of experience teaching and performing professionally • Online lessons and courses • Lessons include access to my own curriculum with sheet music, videos, and PDF’s • In my lessons, I show you how to practice effectively and use musical exercises that incorporate various skills and techniques. Over the years I've honed the ability to cater to individual goals and learning styles from total beginners to advanced players and singer songwriters - always making sure the students needs are being met while offering direction when they need it. My goal is to teach you to learn your favorite music while empowering you to learn songs on your own, jam with other musicians, and write your own songs. This is not so complicated or intimidating as it may seem; I simplify and make things easy according to your skill level so you don’t have to wait 6 months - 1 year before you can start playing your favorite music. I help you get over the fear we fall victim to when we are vulnerable while learning new skills. The goal here is to have fun playing music!

Andrew is very very KNOWLEGEABLE about music!! I am taking Jazz Piano lessons from him and He is a phenomenal instructor. Of course he is, He graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in Jazz composition and performance!! Enough said! And he is extremely encouraging, helpful and patient. You will not find many teachers in this valley that is up to his caliber! So, go ahead and give him a try. You won't be disappointed! he is the cream of the crop when it comes to my genre of music: jazz and also in any other. He has a wonderful band that plays incredible music. They tour and travel and it's a truly great experience to sit under his tutelage!!

Personally, a lot of concepts in music that i have tried working on not only on my own time, but with other teachers had proved difficult. When i came across Andrew i knew right after our first consultation that i was gonna see results. Within the first few sessions i was able to grasp concepts that i had been struggling with for years. This guy is incredibly legit, an awesome player, and trust a down right great teacher. I have and will still recommend him to any player looking to hone their skills.

Andrew was very communicative about a schedule that worked with me, he taught me the basics in music theory and terminology, and gave homework each week in specific ways I could improve. I feel more empowered as a solo performer and also in my abilities to play with other musicians.

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    My Grandmother is a composer for the symphony and both of my parents are musical. I had these family influences early in my life that encouraged me to take piano lessons. When I was 12 years old, I picked up my Dad's guitar and started teaching myself to play. I started playing with other musicians, composing, and teaching at the age of 16 and became passionate about music in all aspects. From that time, I knew that I wanted to make music my life's work.
