Greetings, guitarist or aspiring guitarist! I am a guitar instructor residing in Albany, NY, providing both in-person and online lessons to students. My objective is to prioritize your needs, given that my success is contingent upon yours. With certification from Berklee College of Music, I steer clear of the one-size-fits-all methodology. In case you're seeking to purchase your first or future guitar, don't hesitate to consult me; I would gladly pass on my expertise and assist you with the shopping process.
My pupils frequently come to me after having unpleasant or demotivating experiences with previous teachers. I aspire to help them break through the barriers standing in the way of their success. With experience working with all age groups and skill levels, my equation for success is combining vision and goals.
I am patient, professional, and consistent, committed to creating a welcoming learning space for you. I enjoy witnessing the moment when students link up the music they cherish with learning the guitar, watching as the fretboard comes to life in their minds. That epiphanic moment in which an idea clicks into place is the reason I dedicated myself to this field. I believe it's vital to relish these moments, as they spark inspiration and motivation, pushing through the tougher practice sessions.

So far, it has been enjoyable to form a personal connection through my passion for rock and Andrew's knowledge in the subject.

With a flexible approach, Andrew caters to each student's unique skill level and goals. Rather than imposing a rigid teaching formula, he personalizes his methods to suit an individual's needs. Furthermore, an accomplished musician himself, Andrew derives pleasure from playing and teaching. He employs creative techniques to tackle musical pieces, breaking them down into manageable modules. Following his classes, I eagerly anticipate practicing at home.

As a member of the Astros organization's Tri City Valley Cats baseball team, I've been taking guitar lessons from Andrew for six weeks now and it's been fantastic! He's incredibly accommodating and works around your schedule. I went into our first lesson knowing nothing about guitar but have already learned how to play hammers, slides, and a variety of chords for different songs. Andrew is a phenomenal guitar teacher who can help you achieve any goals you have set for yourself. I wholeheartedly recommend him to everyone! I can't wait for our next lesson.

Andrew is an excellent teacher who understands that patience is key when it comes to delivering comprehensive instructions. He does an amazing job of teaching guitar, and as a result, students can expect to experience many "Wow, I can actually play the guitar!" moments.
