Andy Basiola

“Andrea is an excellent guitar teacher. He’s taught my son from the ages 7-15. He has the ability to relate to the student at different ages. He is also very patient. My son accomplished his ABRSM grades successfully. During COVID times we switched to on line lessons and he was as dedicated and able to communicate as effectively as in person lessons. He is very accomplished as a guitar player himself and a wonderful person.”

“Andrea was my guitar teacher for 8 years. He helped me prepare up to grade 5 in ABRSM. He was amazing in practicing pieces, and preparing me for the exams and concerts. His lessons were fun and I always was looking forward to the lessons. I am hoping in some time I would like to restart some lessons with him based on rock.”

“Andy is an excellent and imaginative guitar teacher who has taught our son for three years now. During this time he has really brought the instrument to life for our son and this has coincided with a much wider interest in music generally for him. Very highly recommended.”

“Sam, 14 y.o. I have been taking lessons from Andy for almost two years and in this time I have made such progress I did not expect. I improved drastically my legato and sweep picking, timing and picking hand tightness. Progress aside he is just scarily good. He has both great technique and feel, which is something you don’t find too often. He is a great teacher, very patient and helpful and well as being a really nice person overall.”

“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 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.”
