Discover a fun and comfortable way to play guitar from an expert guitarist and teacher

All Styles and all levels specializing in Jazz (including advanced theory and improvisational ), classical, rock, pop, etc. Teaching Style I believe first and foremost in supporting and developing what musically inspires a student’s decision to study and play music. In order to fully develop control, musicality and understanding of the music language, it is important to focus on several components including music theory (scale and harmonic structure/function and rhythm), style, ear-training, reading and performance skills. Expectations of Students Like any aspect of life, consistency and patience are two very important qualities to posses when working towards a goal. The duration of each practice session is proportional to the level of the student. Learning how to practice efficiently with your instrument is key for adherence and success in obtaining your goals.

I sat in on my 15 year old daughters first session with Andy. He was courteous and very professional. He made her feel comfortable while skillfully assessing her singing level and determined where to focus her development. His knowledge and skill were very evident. She has completed 3 lessons so far and it's been a good fit. She thinks he's nice and has learned a lot already. I signed her up for more classes. I highly recommend Andy.
