"I have been going to Andrew for a little over a year for both guitar and piano lessons. Whether you are a novice or have some background, but want to expand your skills, Andrew is a fantastic instructor. His approach is very flexible, and he tailors his lessons to what you want to learn. He has a ton of practical, self-made material including videos that you can use on-line for learning and practice in between in-person sessions. Additionally, his higher education in advanced music/guitar and being a live gigging musician and part of a band are ideal for him to assist in understanding music theory and songwriting. He can even assist on selecting a proper guitar, pedals and recording equipment.  My understanding of guitar and piano concepts, theory and techniques has greatly expanded by working with Andrew. Lastly, he is just a great, down-to-earth person who displays a genuine enthusiasm and enjoyment in seeing his students progress. I highly recommend him."

"Andrew is a best-in-class teacher. I have worked with teachers of many types over the years and Andrew stands out for several important reasons. First, he has a sincere interest in helping you learn and get better matched to you interests. Second, he brings new ideas and approaches to the process to make the work more impactful. Finally, he has a great attitude, positive energy and becomes an ally as you continue the journey together. An amazing musician for sure, but one that can bring his experience, deep understanding of theory, and technique into the lessons to make them fun and valuable. Cannot recommend him more."

"Personally, a lot of concepts in music that i have tried working on not only on my own time, but with other teachers had proved difficult. When i came across Andrew i knew right after our first consultation that i was gonna see results. Within the first few sessions i was able to grasp concepts that i had been struggling with for years. This guy is incredibly legit, an awesome player, and trust a down right great teacher. I have and will still recommend him to any player looking to hone their skills."

"Andrew is clearly a very knowledgeable musician! His passion, continual study and 15+ years of experience make for an awesome instructor. He's adaptable with music genres, instruments and learning styles! It really helped being able to cross reference things I had learned on the piano and flute (seemingly long ago) as I explored guitar and ukulele. Andrew also indulged my interest in percussion allowing my self-exploration to feed his well-structured curriculum. Our lessons helped fuel my curiosity for multi-instrumental practice and made music theory a relatable and approachable topic (I've always been quite intimidated). I've taken lessons intermittently for the last ~4 years. Very glad he offers virtual and in person lessons! P.S. I've also seen him play live, solo & in bands! Great performer!"

"Andrew is a fantastic guitarist and teacher. I’ve been taking bluegrass guitar lessons from him for a few months and the progress I’ve made has far exceeded my expectations. His knowledge of the genre and repertoire is incredible. The pace of the lessons is spot on. I don’t ever feel like I’m needing more or taking on too much. I’m really looking forward to continuing my lessons with Andrew and highly recommend him to guide you on your guitar journey."

-John M.

​

"Andrew improved my guitar and piano playing faster and more than I could have thought possible! His flexible and dynamic teaching style allowed us to move at whatever pace I wanted, which kept me feeling comfortable and made learning easy. He is extremely skilled and knowledgeable in his craft and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to take their music to the next level."

-Christine L.

 

"It's always difficult to learn new skills as an adult. Doubly so when you consider yourself a perfectionist and have a hard time starting from scratch. Andrew is an excellent teacher who not only knows how to teach the baseline skills, but is also gracious and encouraging when laying that important foundation. His class is a no judgement zone and if you follow his direction and practice at home you will absolutely see progress in no time. Andrew is not only a talented musician but a talented teacher. If you're looking to learn an instrument, go for it! You're in great hands."

-Kat C.​

 

"Andrew is very very knowledgeable about music! I am taking Jazz Piano lessons from him and he is a phenomenal instructor. Of course he is, He graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in Jazz composition and performance! Enough said! And he is extremely encouraging, helpful and patient. You will not find many teachers in this valley that are up to his caliber! So go ahead and give him a try and you won't be disappointed! He is the cream of the crop when it comes to my genre of music: Jazz, and also in any other. He has a wonderful band that plays incredible music. They tour and travel and it's a truly great experience to sit under his tutelage!"

-Clifton T.

​

"Andrew is legit! Seriously, though, he’s a master with the guitar, but he is able to break it down into very basic understanding for us beginners. He’s great with a lesson and sending you home with practice songs, homework, scales. I learned a TON in just 2 months. If you want a guitar teacher who has all the skills, Andrew is your man."

-Annie H.

​

"I have always wanted to learn to play guitar and have tried a few teachers through the years--as well as the YouTube route, but I wasn't able to break through and make real progress. My experience with Andrew has been not only fantastic, but completely different. He tailors his lessons to my interests and abilities and I've FINALLY been able to see significant improvement! If you're looking for a great teacher who can teach any number of genres and styles, you should give Andrew a call. He's the best!"

-Eldon L.

​

"Andrew is an excellent musician and teacher. He teaches methods and techniques that make learning fun and successful. He had me finger picking from the beginning, which I never would have done on my own. Andrew has you learn songs that you like while at the same time incorporating fundamentals like strum patterns, pick patterns, and feel.
I am adult learner that started from scratch. I hope to keep learning from Andrew for a long time!"

-Katy A.

​

"I started lessons with Andrew over a year ago. I had taught myself a few basic chords back in college, but Andrew has opened up a whole new level of playing for me. He has a very approachable style, slowing adding more difficulty as I master one technique at a time. I find him to have a good balance of pushing to get the technique correct, while maintaining his an amicable personality."

"Andrew was very communicative about a schedule that worked with me, he taught me the basics in music theory and terminology, and gave homework each week in specific ways I could improve. I feel more empowered as a solo performer and also in my abilities to play with other musicians. I'm now confidently performing in a guitar/piano duo."

"Great at breaking up concepts in a way that is easy (and less frustrating) to learn. Skilled teacher: understands variety of learning styles and adjusts/tailors his lessons and explanations to fit your learning style (this is a big one for me!) Very patient and good at not making you feel like an idiot!–as a 33-year-old first time learner, this was essential!"

Highly recommend."

-Crystal F.

I've been strumming guitar for 25 years, and Andrew has helped me break out of my rut and start learning how to solo up the neck. He's knowledgeable and easy to work with. He also teaches my teenage son piano. I highly recommend him as a teacher!

-Andy J.

​

"Andrew helped me prepare for the music program I’m in with private piano lessons. He’s great about teaching you the things you’ll be able to retain, and really knows his stuff! I recommended a friend to him for guitar lessons as well who says he’s really benefited from them so far. Highly recommend."

"Andrew made me feel comfortable and accommodated me graciously and patiently taught me every step of the way. It was my first attempt and will remain the BEST experience. Utterly professional, punctual, talented and very human. Luckily I had an opportunity to do both in person and online classes because of my work I moved out of SLC but it felt like i still had that personal attention. Try him out and you will never regret that decision ever."
