I've had three lessons now with Andy. He is an excellent teacher. He paces the class to suit your ability; his learning points are clear and he is very observant of where/how you can make improvements. Sometimes he will talk for a moment or two - this is to give a small pause in the teaching, allowing you to rest before going on to the next part of the tutorial. All good.

Brian Jennings Trumpet

I've been having regular lessons with Andy for a few months now and think he's a great teacher. He is very knowledgeable, provides some useful focus for the lessons and has a lot of positive energy and enthusiasm. What more could you ask for?!

Simon Draycott Lesson

Just had my first lesson with Andy, who has already inspired me with lots of information on improving technique and tips to help with my practice! Really looking forward to my next lesson

Hannah Heath Lesson

Andy has been teaching piano to my son, Claus, for a number of years with extraordinary success. Claus is a musical savant who needs a lot of skill, diligence and patience. Andy has an empathetic manner which has moved Claus to grades 7 and 8. Andy has ensured online teaching has worked well and has very much kept the momentum going so that Claus has progressed well during this difficult time. I wholeheartedly recommend Andy to anyone seeking a music tutor.

William Wallace Piano lessons

As the parent of a daughter who is not a big conversationalist, I cannot thank Andy enough for his unswerving, cheerful and incredibly encouraging nature. Finty feels really comfortable with him and enjoys her piano lessons. If I could be as successful at getting her to practice as Andy is at teaching her, we could accomplish incredible things! I cannot recommend Andy highly enough, he is always calm, professional and very accommodating and Finty has made great progress.

Kate Scawthon Piano Lessons

Andy has been teaching my 8 year old son beginner piano online for the last 6 months. Andy is amazing! My son has got on very well with him from the first start. After a few lessons he enrolled him at grade 1 ABRSM. My son feels very confident and keen to train every day and looks forward to the next lesson. His right and left hand coordination has improved significantly. He took the exam a couple of weeks ago, and achieved an excellent pass. Thanks a lot Andy!

Waddah Mobayed Piano lessons ABRSM grade 1

Andy has been teaching Zoe for 4 years and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His support throughout lockdown has been superb. He has coached Zoe through theory and has helped Zoe through virtual learning. Zoe looks forward to her lessons and when she was younger Andy made her feel at ease prior to any examinations.

Jill Widdison Trumpet Grade 5

Andy is really friendly and I really enjoy my zoom lessons. I really like his teaching style because he isn’t strict but I learn loads from him. He doesn’t tell me off if I make a mistake, he just helps me and I learn a lot from him. I want to practice because it’s fun and I look forward to my lessons.

Beth (age 11) Lessons

My Daughter Olivia has been having piano lessons with Andy for a few months, she really enjoys the lessons and is progressing very well. Andy is friendly and professional and I highly recommend him.

Louise Wilson Piano

Andy has been teaching our daughter ukulele for the past 11 months. He is patient, has a great sense of humour and our daughter really enjoys her weekly lessons. We started face to face but have moved to Zoom due to COVID. It’s been absolutely no trouble at all to set these lessons up. We would certainly recommend Andy.

Kerry Davey Ukulele

Our daughter really wanted to pass her grade one in acoustic guitar before starting secondary school. Andy worked with her to achieve this and she passed with Merit. He is a very calm teacher and this style really suits our daughter. She enjoys her lessons and is now beginning to work on her grade two pieces.

Mia Richards Examination - G.1 Acoustic Guitar (Rockschool)

Andy is a brilliant teacher. My daughter has been taking keyboard lessons with him and within less than 7 months she was able to pass her initial keyboard exam with distinction! Andy makes his lessons fun and is very supportive. Can't recommend him highly enough.

Ola Williamson Examination - Initial Keyboard (Rock & Pop)

My daughter has been doing guitar lessons with Andy for quite a few months now and she thoroughly enjoys it. Andy suggested that she start preparing for her exam which she was so nervous about, but he calmed her down. He was wonderful, he made it such fun for her that she forgot all about her nerves. Andy made sure that she was ready and confident. Without Andys help and support she wouldn't have obtained a DISTINCTION. Thank you Andy!

Kayla Lawrie Examination - Initial Guitar (Rock & Pop)

I cannot recommend Andy highly enough. The rapport he has with his students and his ability to guide and bring them on musically is second to none. We have had other tutors in the past and Andy is head and shoulders above them. We feel very lucky that we found him and are extremely grateful for his continued efforts in teaching our daughter, who has performed extremely well in both the exams Andy has guided her through. Thanks Andy. Ange and Pete. Xx

Amelia Westbrook Examination - G.1 Guitar (Rockschool)

Andy has been teaching my daughter for over 3 years and recently assisted her by playing the piano in her grade 4 exam. This helped my daughter to relax. The result was she passed and this has made her decide to go onto grade 5. I would certainly recommend Andy, he makes the lessons fun and enjoyable. Jill

Jill Examination - Trumpet G.4 (ABRSM)

Andy teaches our son, who is autistic with a savant profile in music. With Andy’s thoughtful and dedicated approach, Claus has achieved a very good merit in his exam. It requires skill and positivity to get the best from our son. Andy has certainly what is needed and is putting into practice the next stages for progression. He is a true professional and is very particular on all aspects of his teaching. He is flexible and calm. I have no reservations in recommending Andy as a music teacher.

Claus/William Wallace Examination - G.5 Piano (ABRSM)

Andy has been teaching my six year old son to play the guitar for just over a year. My son has enjoyed his lessons and Andy has shown both patience and creativity to maintain his interest and engagement during his sessions. We have received honest and constructive feedback and Andy has pitched his lesson at a pace and level appropriate to my son’s age and cognitive development. We would highly recommend this service.

Gemma Lessons

Natalie enjoys her piano lessons so much. Andy is very professional, but also friendly and tries to make it fun. He is a brilliant teacher and I am very happy I found a teacher like him for my daughter.

Natalie Bubelova Lessons

We were very grateful to Andy because he took over our son’s trumpet lessons when his previous teacher fell ill. We find Andy very professional and would recommend his lessons to other parents. Thank you for all of your help and support getting Henry through his Grade 3.

Anna Saunders Examination

My daughter is working towards her debut exam in acoustic guitar. Having started on classical with her previous teacher we were unsure how she would find switching to acoustic. Andy has made this very easy for her. She enjoys her lessons and finds him friendly and encouraging. We would thoroughly recommend Andy.

Mia Richards Lessons

Great teacher, very professional and gives you confidence in your skills. Would definitely recommend.

Steph Lessons

Andy is our second guitar tutor and is head and shoulders above the previous teacher. His patience, professionalism and overall music and tutorial prowess is second to none. Amelia has come on leaps and bounds since joining him. Very highly recommended.

Amelia W Lessons

My son loves his guitar lessons with Andy. Andy is very professional with my lad and keeps him focused. He always turns up when says he will - highly recommend him

Thomas Lessons

My daughter thoroughly enjoys her lessons. Andy is friendly and patient and always encourages her. I would definitely recommend him

Anna L Lessons

Just to add an update Zoe has now passed Grade 3 trumpet and was only 2 points away from a merit. So looking forward to resuming lessons this week and working towards the next exam. Thanks Andy

Jill Widdison Examination

Andy is patient and always goes out of his way to explain the theory of the notes and technical parts of reading music. My daughter passed grade 1 last week. He always turns up for lessons and it's an absolute joy to hear them both on a duet. At the end of a busy day I can sit with a cuppa and just enjoy listening. I would recommend Andy for trumpet, and my old keyboard only sounds great when Andy plays it. Best investment we have done this year

Jill Widdison Lessons

I've been learning piano with Andy for about a year now. His lessons are always enjoyable, and his patient demeanour (backed up with a stern word if I've not practiced enough!) ensures that I am able to make genuine progress week by week. He is understanding of the realities of fitting lessons in between work, and has been happy to postpone sessions where I have been unable to make time. I would happily recommend him to any adult learners like myself who are looking to pick up a new skill

Richard Brown Lessons

My daughter was very nervous before her lesson but Andy put her at ease. He is always friendly and professional and my daughter thoroughly enjoys her guitar lessons
