What Students Say
Dynamic And Knowledgeable
Andre is an extremely dynamic teacher, and knowledgeable guitar player. Upon finishing the first lesson, I already had so much new material to play with. Andre was able to give a very practical and tailored approach to teaching, I would recommend him to anyone looking for a new perspective on there instrument or theory.

Patient And Organized
I really appreciate André’s patient and organized approach. The lessons are customized to my particular interests, while also challenging me to broaden my skills and discover what I don’t know. Whereas other guitar teachers I’ve tried in the past have felt a bit random in their approach, André’s method feels like a well planned guitar journey
