Mr. DiRuzza is a great teacher and very insightful. He cares about his students and gives them the necessary coaching, that they want and need.

I have played bass guitar for over 12 years. I was self taught and never took lessons until I took them with Mr. DiRuzza. In the 6 months that I had lessons with him, my playing increased 10 fold. He was patient and helped my answer my own questions as well as helped me achieve my goals I had. I was complimented immensely in the Pit Orchestra I played in and honestly, I attribute most of that to him. Great teacher. Highly recommend him.

I had Andrew as an instructor while at Augustana College for my 2nd guitar class. I am a beginner guitar player and he was able to teach me in a way that I was able to understand and work toward improving myself. He helped me understand how keep a tempo, fingering technique, posture, and he geared his instructions based on what I wanted to play. I am still able to message him for remote help when in need. Thanks Andrew!

He is a great teacher wish I would have used my time more wisley, with all the information he showed. I also loved how used real life exprinces and applies them to guitar playing/practising. Studied at Kirkwood community college in Iowa City.
