About
Hello, I'm Andrew, a music teacher and performer with more than 10 years of experience. I offer both virtual and in-person music lessons to those living in/around Philadelphia. Let's connect over a call to discuss your musical interests and objectives! Check out my professional background and musical journey below.

My passion for music and songwriting began in middle school and propelled me across various locales in my pursuit of sharing the power of music. After receiving lessons in piano and trombone in my earlier years, I discovered my love for the guitar, which prompted me to study both jazz guitar and orchestral trombone throughout high school. I graduated cum laude with a Bachelor's Degree in Music from Wesleyan University before accepting an opportunity to design and deliver a songwriting class to high school students in South Africa, which I called "In My Own Voice."

After returning to the United States, I joined the K-8th grade Alexandria Country Day School in Virginia, where I oversaw the chorus program, directed the band ensemble, and led the junior high symphonic orchestra. My teaching style prioritizes the individual's ability to choose their own material and take control of their creative process. Nowadays, I serve as the lead vocalist for FeelFree, my band, which won the best reggae album at Washington DC's Wammy Awards and performs approximately 70 concerts each year. I've released three albums on major streaming services, including Apple Music and Spotify, with over 10,000 active monthly listeners.

When I'm not involved with music, teaching, or performing, I like to cook and challenge others to funny-face contests. My music lessons include piano, guitar, trombone, and songwriting/composition.

With an impressive and varied background, Andrew is an enthusiastic instructor. He provided my son with a strong classical basis, while permitting him to delve into other genres of his choosing. It's all thanks to Andrew that my 17-year-old son is now proficient in piano playing!

The exceptional Andrew! It's incredible how fortunate we were to stumble upon him at CrackerJack. His love for music, his thoughtful demeanor with my child, and his dedication to imparting musical skills in a creative and personalized manner are truly evident and touching. I'm confident that my child will develop a means for self-expression that will resonate with him throughout his life. ❤️

For the past year, Andrew has been instructing our adolescent through a combination of both online and in-person sessions. Without any prior experience with guitar, our teen has made remarkable strides since starting lessons with Andrew, and now has the ability to perform various cherished melodies. Not only does she find her lessons enjoyable, but she also remains motivated to play, without any prodding from us. In addition, Andrew is highly communicative, quickly responsive, and always obliging when last-minute changes to the schedule are necessary. He also upholds an excellent work ethic, consistently arriving on time and working alongside us to guarantee that lessons are conducted in a setting we feel secure with, given the ongoing pandemic.

Undoubtedly, Andrew is an exceptional piano teacher! My son is involved in numerous extracurricular activities, but he looks forward to his sessions with Andrew the most. There are not sufficient words to express how much we appreciate his teaching.
