Andrew is an outstanding teacher. I have already become a lot more confident in my playing, and even begun to learn some songs. Andrew not only is fluent in the language of guitar, but also in the teaching of it. He seems to know exactly what to say and do to help me along when I am stuck. I appreciate all of his help, and any improvement I have made is owed to Andrew's remarkable teaching. Thanks!

About Me
I have been teaching music for 16 years. I grew up on the 2nd floor of my father's music store in Central PA and have been around music my whole life. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Music Performance from the University of the Arts where I studied jazz guitar with Pat Martino, Jimmy Bruno, Steve Giordano, and Tom Giacabetti. I was one of the original teachers during the formative years at the Paul Green School of Rock Music where I later went on to be the Music Director of the Philadelphia and Downingtown Schools. During that time, I helped many students prepare and get accepted to music schools, ran and developed music summer camps, and organized concerts where the students performed the music of Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, and many more of rock's finest band at every major venue in Philadelphia.
I have been active in the local music scene recording and playing sold-out shows at the Khyber, TLA, Trocadero, Johnny Brenda's and World Café Live with such acts as 722, Bebek,...

Mandolin Lessons
I recently started playing mandolin on my own - and decided to take lessons to make sure that my technique was correct. -- All I can say is that Nero is the best music teacher I have ever had - not to mention, a gifted musician. He makes learning fun, and his approach and patience allows you to easily pick up new techniques and skills. I hope to take lessons with Nero for a long time!!!!

Craig K,
My first Flamenco Guitar lesson
Had my first lesson with Nero. Nero was very patient and the lesson progressed at a comfortable pace. He didn't bombard me with too much information yet identified learning moments at relevant times during the session that increased the value of our time. I played clarinet for about 6 years over 17 years ago and haven't touched a musical instrument since so I feel like a beginner... He was sensitive to my inexperience and led with the session with a relaxing demeanor.

Tyler W,
Great for a beginner
My experience with Nero has been great. I have very little musical background and have always been a bit nervous about learning an instrument at my age. Nero has put that all to rest. He has been very responsive to my ability and has moved at a good pace. Each lesson he has taken the time to explain each chord and how it relates overall. He is calm and completely understanding of all music ability. I would recommend him to anyone living in and around Philadelphia looking to learn the ukulele!

About Me
Learning music, especially at a young age, can have a positive impact in life. From simply playing music in the home to performing music for large audiences, the basic goal is the same: the enjoyment of being a proficient musician. I have written a bit about my experience and how I can use this to help you to become a great musician.
I began studying music when I was 8 years old. My early lessons taught me not only about music but about music teaching. As a result of these experiences, I vowed to teach students music that is meaningful to them.
Moving along, in high school I played in rock bands with my friends. I can never stress how important it is to play with other people. I always encourage my students to form bands, join music groups in school, or just find a friend to jam with. Not only does this raise the level of musicality, it is a great motivational tool.
After high school, I studied music at...

About Me
My name is Peter A. I've been playing guitar for over ten years. I recently graduated from the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. There, I spent several semesters studying with Tomo Fujita (former teacher of John Mayer and Eric Krasno). I've also studied with legendary guitarist Pat Metheny and Jack Pezanelli. Stevie Ray Vaughan, Wes Montgomery, and Jimi Hendrix are responsible for inspiring me to play guitar and I specialize in teaching blues and jazz. I've performed with a bunch of great artists in the Boston and Philadelphia area.
I am also well versed in computer recording software and DAWs. I teach students how to use software programs such as Logic and Reason as well as notation software like Sibelius and Finale. With some basic training in these programs, I can teach a student how to effectively record and produce professional quality recordings so that a student can write, record, and produce their own music.

Exceeds Expectations!
Peter not only has the credentials and talent, but also possesses a keen ability to effectively instruct by adjusting the pace and content of each lesson. I had high expectations and he exceeded them. Furthermore, Peter is very flexible and selflessly accommodating, when needed, which is invaluable to me considering my busy schedule coupled with the fact that I must travel 1.5 hours each way to attend lessons (Confirmed, it is worth 1.5 hrs. to get there.). I fully endorse Peter and believe he would be a perfect fit for all levels and musical interests, especially if you are interested in blues and / or jazz. Believe me... don't hesitate.
