Testimonials

Barbara L.

"As an older adult beginner, I appreciated Andrew's infinite patience in teaching me, not only the bass from scratch, but aspects of theory that applied to the music I was playing. He always suggested alternative approaches, if I couldn't manage to master a riff in the beginning. And, jamming together with him was great fun!"

Rohit S.

"I worked with Andrew for over a year and had no musical background. While I came to him for bass instructions, we evolved to doing both bass and drum instruction. I learned a lot from him as he was patient and adaptable throughout the process. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a musical instructor."
