Music has been a lifelong pursuit for me. I have played many instruments over the years while performing with various groups in and out of school. Eventually I decided that music was how I wanted to make my living. Since earning my degree in Instrumental Performance/Jazz Studies from University of the Arts in Philadelphia, I have been performing and teaching professionally. I have had the pleasure of studying and working with some of the finest musicians. Each day brings new and exciting challenges to be met. I have really enjoyed the journey to this point and am looking forward to more great things in the future. My lessons are available to anyone who wants to grow musically. They can be as simple or as challenging as you like. I move at your pace and strive for every lesson to be a fun and rewarding learning experience. Whether you want to learn how to play your favorite songs or write a masterpiece of your own, I will help give you the tools to make your musical dreams come true. *** Studio Equipment *** Music teaching room, amps, stands, effects pedals *** Specialties *** Rock, Jazz, Funk, Blues, R&B, Latin, Country, theory, improvisation, reading, learning songs, ear training, grooving and HAVING FUN.

Andrew is a fantastic teacher. I returned to playing guitar after a decades-long break, and I am keeping it going thanks to Andrew. He is patient and flexible, willing to tailor lessons to my changing interests. He's always interested, which is no small thing. He pushes me to try harder, to know the fretboard when I am inherently lazy, to understand why I'm playing what I'm playing, and to extend myself. He'll gladly help me figure out a song, and along the way helps me better understand the music. His lessons have renewed my confidence, and spurred me to play regularly with others, to perform for an audience, and now to write music. I am a musician again, thanks to Andrew.
Exactly what my daughters needed in a teacher-knowledgeable, personable and fun. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!
Amazing guitar teacher! Andrew is super personable, engaging with my child, and has gone above and beyond to accommodate our sometimes crazy scheduling issues.
