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!!

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.
