Andrew is a Los Angeles/Phoenix –based musician, producer, and songwriter who takes a practical and creative approach to teaching guitar and bass. He has experience teaching students of all ages and skill levels, and focuses on making lessons engaging, approachable, and grounded in real music. His teaching style is centered around learning songs, using them as a foundation to naturally develop technique, hand mechanics, timing, and an understanding of music theory. By learning through songs students actually enjoy, lessons feel less like practice and more like making music from day one. He also draws from his experience as an active artist, bringing real-world insight into songwriting, recording, and production into each session.
Andrew’s teaching philosophy is rooted in the idea that music is more than just a skill—it’s a way to build discipline, creativity, and self-expression. He sees learning guitar as a conduit for understanding broader life principles like patience, consistency, and trusting your instincts. His goal is to help students not only improve technically, but also feel confident exploring their own ideas and developing their own sound. Lessons are always tailored to the individual, meeting students where they’re at while helping them grow at a steady, comfortable pace. Whether someone is just starting out or looking to take their playing further, Andrew focuses on making the process feel natural, rewarding, and personal.
