Introduction: I’ve been teaching for almost a decade and love it! When students learn from Piano By Andrew, they are learning MUCH MORE than reading notes on a page. After all, music is creating, expressing, improvising, composing, collaborating, and HAVING FUN! Through group lessons, students collaborate with peers and learn from one another. Through games, learning theory takes on a life of its own. Through improvising and composing, students are creating and taking ownership of their learning. My musical journey began at 7 years old and continued into college where I received an undergraduate degree in Piano Performance and Music Education. I’m truly grateful for the opportunities I had, as well as having supportive parents that made sure I practiced regularly. However, one thing that was lacking were opportunities to be creative, play by ear, improvise, and compose. It wasn’t until much later that I embarked on my journey of learning to play creatively. I believe it is SO important for today’s musicians to learn these skills; yet sadly such opportunities are missing from many traditional lessons. That’s why teaching creative skills is a core value of Piano By Andrew! My experience as a public school music teacher has taught me the value of sharing the love of music with large groups of students. I love teaching groups of students so much that I decided to bring it into my piano studio! My students not only receive private lessons, but also participate in group lessons scheduled periodically throughout the year. I believe students gain so much from their group lessons by performing for each other, playing music games, and making lifelong friendships.

"We are so grateful that we found Andrew for our granddaughter's piano lessons. Being an actual certified teacher, he not only understands teaching piano, but also teaching itself. He is receptive to students' needs, aware of individual learning styles, and a skillful planner. Andrew is so creative and innovative as to make the lessons meaningful and fun. One look at his online planning is evidence of that. He is definitely the best around." David R.

Andrew has been a pleasure to work with. He is always on time and informs us in advance of any changes to the schedule. Our son has enjoyed the pace of his lessons and feels like he is making good progress. I would definitely recommend Andrew to friends and family. Keep up the great work!!!

My daughter is very comfortable with Andrew. He uses a variety of techniques and songs that she enjoys playing and signing. He is very patient and encouraging - and my daughter actually looks forward to her lessons every week!
