Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: For Solo Guitar and Piano, refer to videos here and on YouTube. My teaching method is based on 15+ years of experience working with students of all ages and skill levels while performing with various musical groups, studying with renowned elite musicians, and earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Music. With my lessons I offer accompanying videos, PDF's, handouts with useful information such as how to practice effectively, and carefully thought out exercises that incorporate various skills and techniques. Over the years I have honed the ability to cater to individual goals and learning styles from total beginners to advanced players and singer songwriters - always making sure the students needs are being met while offering direction when they need it. My goal is to teach you to learn your favorite music while empowering you to learn songs on your own, jam with other musicians, and write your own songs. This is not so complicated or intimidating as it may seem; I simplify and make things easy according to your skill level so you don’t have to wait 6 months - 1 year before you can start playing your favorite music. I help you get over the fear we fall victim to when we are vulnerable while learning new skills. The goal here is to have fun playing music!

If you want to learn the guitar fast and have fun in the process, go take from Andrew. I have taken guitar and bass lessons from many teachers, trust me, and I learned more from Andrew in the short time I have taken from him than I have from all my other teachers combined. One of the many great things about Andrew's teaching style is that he tailors his lessons to meet each individual students needs instead of the "one size fits all" approach that most teachers use. He finds a great balance between being fun and teaching you what you want to learn, and also expecting you to be dedicated to improving. Andrew has a lot of experience and it shows in his guitar teaching method that really does wonders to your playing.

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.
