    About Andy M.

    I am a Northern California native currently located in Santa Cruz. I attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA and received my Bachelor's of Music in Performance. I am currently earning my Master's of Music degree in Music Education at San Jose State University. I have been teaching privately on both coasts of the United States for over 10 years, and am proficient on several different instruments. My principal instrument is the electric bass, and I am comfortable teaching any musical style, as I was exposed to and have experience playing in a wide variety of ensembles. Students of all ages and skill levels are welcome, as long as you are genuine in your desire to learn, and practice assigned work diligently. I take my student's success seriously, and strive to help them discover their own musical voice and style. Thank you for considering me as your teacher!
