What to expect in my Song Writing Lessons
Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced
I believe first and foremost in supporting and developing what musically inspires a student’s decision to study and/or play music. In order to fully develop control, musicality and understanding of the music language, it is important to focus on several aspects of music including music theory (scale and harmonic structure/function and rhythm) ear-training, reading and performance skills. Like any aspect of life, consistency and patience are two very important qualities to posses when working towards a goal. The duration of each practice session is proportional to the level of the student. Learning how to practice efficiently with your instrument is key for adherence and success in obtaining your goals.

Review:
Very pleased
Mr. Andy is very patient with my 8 year old who tends to talk a lot and get off topic. He is able to get her back on track without frustrating her, but also calls her out if he knows she hasn't worked hard during the week between lessons. I like that she has to learn how to read music as well as chords. He pushes her hard enough that she is challenged and progressing. Debbie wrote on Sat, 18 Aug 2018
Great Vocal instructions
Andy has been my voice instructor for a few months now and I am very pleased with the progress. He is well educated and very talented. I have studied under other instructors and I am most impressed with Andy. Joe W. wrote on Fri, 01 Mar 2019
Why did I wait so long???
I just had my first vocal lesson with Andy this past weekend and I don't know why I've waiting so long to do this. I've been a bass player in bands for so many years, and doing some lead vocals and backing vocals that were so so. Andy's given me some great tools to start with and I'm excited about where this is going! Tolbert Pitman wrote on Mon, 13 Feb 2023
