About
Hello and welcome to my profile! I am an experienced performer (SINGING PIANIST), piano TEACHER and vocal coach. I can also transcribe and arrange music. As clergy, I also serve as an OFFICIANT for weddings and other events.
I enjoy working with students and performers of all ages and backgrounds, inspiring them to pursue a lifetime of musical enjoyment. I began teaching beginning piano students while in high school, earned a Northwestern U degree in theory and composition, spent my earlier career in the clergy, and now perform regularly as a soloist and as an accompanist, and I offer transcription services for your original songs, as well.
A recent testimonial: "Andy has been teaching my 8-year old son how to play piano for the past six months and it is incredible to see how much progress my son has made in such a short period of time. My son has never played piano before and now loves it! Andy is patient, flexible, and accommodating. He ensures that my son is always involved in the decision-making process as to what songs to learn to play. Andy tries to make the lessons fun and enjoyable while at the same time serious. It has been such a wonderful and easy experience working with Andy." Jeanine R., Wilmette, IL
PLEASE NOTE: Some reviews relate to my music performances and others to my officiating for weddings.
As an officiant, I make sure I’m acquainted with all the significant members of the wedding party before each ceremony. I meet in person or online with the couple a few times so we feel comfortable with each other while discussing all the details of their unique setting.

While I won't be able to continue my voice lessons with Andy, he was very polite and professional during our lesson, and I enjoyed speaking with him. I'll come back for piano lessons, once I finally get my keyboard set up :)

Andy has been the perfect piano teacher for me after 25 years of not playing. He teaches me some theory and is very encouraging, reminding me that it will take time. However, after a few lessons, I already see improvement. I’m excited about playing again!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I try to stay modestly competitive. I believe I’m worth more than I charge, but I’d rather have more modestly priced work in both teaching and performing than holding out for only high-paying gigs/students.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Assess what they know already and what they want to learn or perform and work toward their goals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a B.A. from Northwestern University in theory and composition, but I continued studying piano. I also studied piano at Oberlin College before transferring to NU.
