Andy is an excellent guitar teacher for students of all ages. He taught my teenage son for two years and made the lessons fun and accessible. My son plays very well now, but more important, he has a deeper understanding of music in general and how learning an instrument can really enhance one’s life. That is thanks to Andy’s enthusiasm and good manner. I highly recommend him.

Andy is patient, kind and talented. He takes kids at their pace and is always encouraging and inspiring. Having a rock star come to visit for an hour a week was awesome in the words of my son ! What more do you need to know?

Andy is an amazing guitar player and teacher, extremely patient with children, methodical and effective in his teaching. He has good knowledge of the RSL Rock school curriculum and examination requirements. Our son has progressed very fast to grade 3, taking the grade 4 exam soon. I have the greatest confidence in Andy and would recommend him unreservedly for teaching children and adults alike.
