Testimonials:

“Andrew is extremely knowledgeable and teaches from a diverse range of musical genres. He has been teaching guitar to my son for the last two years, and I can attest to his exceptional patience when working with children. Since beginning guitar lessons with Andrew, there has been a noticeable improvement in my son’s attention-span, self-esteem and musical ability, to say the least. As a bonus, Andrew has the experience of actually working as a musician, not just a teacher, so he knows the business. I would highly recommend Andrew to anyone interested in learning how to play the guitar – whether as a hobby or potential career.”

Kimberly Kus, Hobart

“Excellent, excellent teacher. Andrew taught me for 5 years which helped me with pursuing my career as musician with going to the Conservatorium of music and gigging frequently around the Hobart scene. Is also currently teaching my younger sister and has so for a few years now, she’s is improving drastically and will probably surpass me if I’m not careful! Would recommend Andrew for anyone who wants to start or learn more about the guitar!

Sean Hall, Hobart

“I was introduced to Andrew by a professional musician who himself came to Andrew for guitar lessons to improve his technique. I’ve been coming to Andrew for guitar lessons for 5 years now. Every lesson I learn something new and exciting. Andrew has introduced me to a variety of music, taught me new ways to think about music and fed my musical needs and desire to learn. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone interested in getting guitar lessons.”

Nick Walker, Hobart.

“I’m so thankful that I came across Andrew, he really opened up my ears and gave me some great information to allow me to pursue music full time professionally. It’s obvious that he’s passionate about music education and we need more people like you in this world. Thank you, you rock! Or jazz! Or whatever style you want! 🙂“

Peron Lan, Melbourne.

“As a complete beginner I started having guitar lessons with Andrew about 5 months ago. In that time I have learnt heaps and I’m motivated to learn more. I find Andrew has the people skills and obviously the guitar skills to teach. His knowledge, patience and positive feedback have really encouraged me to practice at home – the results are exciting.”

Philip Atheron, Hobart.

“I’ve been going to lessons with Andrew for 9 months. He is friendly, easy to relate to and lets your interests drive what is taught. His knowledge across a range of genres is really impressive. There’s an easy balance between practice and theory in his lessons and he presents theory in an accessible, understandable way. The improvements I’ve made have given me a lot more confidence and provide good structure and motivation to play each week. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone at any level who loves or is interested in the guitar!”

Jemma Dacy, Hobart.
