    About Andrew K.

    (5)
    Hi, there, my name is Andrew! I also go by Kojo. I have played guitar since 2008 and bass since 2009. I give beginner and intermediate students of all ages a relaxed one-on-one environment in which they can learn to play the guitar/bass, or build upon their current skill-sets. I'm very open to the students' musical interests when structuring lessons. Each student's needs and interests will be met in a teaching experience tailored to the individual's goals, whether that's learning their favorite songs or learning to play guitar solos, or writing their own music. It's easiest to learn an instrument when you get to learn the stuff you're interested in, after all! I look forward to helping you find passion in playing the guitar, and growing as a musician! Genres of music I am best with: Pop, Rock, Metal, Blues, Latin, Jazz, Funk

    I have been taking guitar lessons with Andrew, and he has been an excellent tutor. Though I started without too much experience in music or in guitar playing, Andrew demonstrated a lot of patience to ensure that I master the basics. His patience is definitely a rare trait for a musician who is as accomplished as Andrew, and in my opinion demonstrates not only his commit to music, but also his passion for sharing the joy of guitar to everyone. As a newcomer to learning this amazing instrument, I could not ask for a better instructor.
