Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I teach lessons to students of all ability levels and ages. I can help, whether you have a child just starting out on saxophone in the school band, a teenager who wants to learn guitar, or you're an adult who wants to enrich your life by learning a new instrument or dusting off that trombone that's been in your closet for years. Professionally, I spend most of my time as a band, guitar, and general music teacher for Minneapolis Public Schools. I hold a BA in Instrumental Music Education from the University of Minnesota, Morris and have been teaching private lessons since 2005. Working on some tough audition music and need a teacher for a month? I can help! Looking for a long-term guide to help you develop as a musician? I'm here for you! Anything in between? Count me in! I enjoy working one-on-one with musicians. Lessons are driven by goals set, not only by myself, but by the student. Short-term, seeing a concept click or hard work on a song pay off is incredibly rewarding. The real high point of my career, though, is building relationships with students and their families and seeing their progress over time. I'm driven to see my students succeed and have fun along the way.

My twelve-year-old daughter has been taking flute lessons from Andrew for 1.5 years. He's an excellent teacher and enhances lessons with engaging information about musical theory and history. In addition, Andrew is the one music teacher in all the years of my multiple kids taking lessons on various instruments who has included in his curriculum actually teaching HOW to practice, backed up with the latest research on brain development and practical experience from his own performing history and classroom teaching. Andrew is very approachable so that the student is freer to play at his/her best rather than being so nervous or feeling judged. Andrew is skillful at giving feedback in a way that is both honest and encouraging. I strongly recommend him.

My son began taking trombone lessons from Andrew in 5th grade. This is his 5 year of lessons. My son looks forward to the lessons, and his ability continues to grow. Andrew developed a quick rapport with my son, and is able to work through difficult techniques and overall improve my son's performance with different exercises. Andrew is very knowlegable, enthusiastic and supportive. We plan on continuing to use Andrew as long as we have a trombone player!

Our son, W has been studying trombone with Andrew for almost 5 years and W has improved immensely over that time. When W first started to study with Andrew, he was ready to give up on trombone, but we insisted that he continue and now W is in wind ensemble, jazz band and the pit orchestra for his high school musical. Andrew has a wonderful connection with young people; he's extremely patient and positive. Also, Andrew was extremely helpful when we were ready to buy a decent trombone for our son. I highly recommend Andrew as a private music instructor.

Andrew is an excellent music teacher. He is able to find the best teaching method for the individual student, allowing the student to learn and excel. It was extremely fun and enjoyable to learn guitar from Andrew. My son and I were able to play modern songs on top of the classical songs we learned, which helped with insuring we stayed on top of practicing outside of class. I would highly recommend Andrew to anyone wanting to learn guitar or trombone or any of the other countless instruments that Andrew knows how to play.
