Student Reviews & Testimonials

I had an on again, off again relationship with guitar for a long time before finally deciding to get serious and take some lessons. After just a few sessions with Andre, I’m seeing huge improvements in my playing. Andre is a great teacher. His explanations and lessons are clear and he’s able to make difficult concepts easy to understand. He also has a website with tons of information and lessons, so there’s always a video of the skills that we learn in person to reference at home. It’s a great system for learning. I recommend Andre to anyone who wants to take their playing to the next level.

Andre is the BEST...

André is not only knowledgeable, but is also friendly and patient, which makes every lesson enjoyable. His sense of humor adds a lighthearted touch that keeps the atmosphere engaging. What I find most valuable about the lessons is how they are tailored to my specific learning desires. This personalized approach helps me stay motivated and focused on my goals. The timely accountability he provides is essential for my progress; it keeps me on track and pushes me to challenge myself. The recorded lessons and the online website are fantastic resources. Being able to rewatch concepts is invaluable, especially since I often find myself forgetting details during live lessons. Having the ability to refer back to recordings, combined with the insights from live coaching calls, enhances my understanding and retention. I find this blend of resources both effective and supportive of my learning journey. To anyone considering lessons with him, I would say he’s a gem! You won’t regret it.

5-Star Review for Andre Andre has been amazing with both my 7-year-old daughter and my niece during their virtual guitar lessons! 🎶 His friendly and caring approach keeps the kids engaged, making each session both fun and educational. It’s incredible how quickly my daughter is picking up the guitar – I’m blown away by her progress! Andre has a unique talent for bringing virtual lessons to life, making it feel like he’s right there in the room with them. If you’re looking for a patient, skilled, and fun music teacher, Andre is the one! Highly recommend him to anyone wanting to inspire a love for music in their kids

Andre has been an awesome instructor! He has been awesome at helping me figure what I need to learn and explain the concepts clearly. I can definitely tell that I’ve made significant progress in just a month and a half of lessons. He also records videos after most lessons with a recap of the lesson, which has been super helpful for practice. I would definitely recommend Andre to anyone wanting to make progress on the guitar!

Andre has been very helpful for me in my guitar journey. I was a self taught guitar player for 10 years before getting lessons with him. His lessons I have really sped up my progress and gave me direction on where to improve. He is very good at assessing where your knowledge and skill level is and giving you information and tools to take you to the next level. I would recommend Andre to anyone who wants to take their guitar playing to the next level. He is great at what he does and is a pleasure to work with.

He's a super sweet person and being taught by him isn't just like a class, it feels also like a social gathering it's really nice having conversations while learning. 💜💜💜

Andre is both a wonderfully skilled musician and music teacher. He catered well to my skill level as a beginner bass player and has continued to helpfully guide me as my skill level increases. Andre has led well structured lessons that are personalized to my learning needs, music interest, and personal goals. Taking bass lessons has helped me to effectively develop better technique and has translated to my bass playing sounding much better. I also particularly appreciate Andre’s excellent communication and organization skills when it comes to scheduling lessons. I love being able to access recorded recaps of our lessons on a website as it is extremely useful during practice to guide my learning at home. Andre’s passion for music has made bass lessons fun and my learning experience really enjoyable. Overall, Andre is a knowledgeable, supportive, and easy-going teacher who I would recommend to anyone looking for music lessons.

Andre is an extremely dynamic teacher, and knowledgeable guitar player. I was looking to fill in some gaps in my self taught guitar playing and learn how to build chords/chord tones for my production projects. 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.

I’ve only had great experiences with André. He’s extremely knowledgeable and his teaching methods make it very easy to begin to learn guitar! Would recommend him to anyone!

Our 7 year old son began guitar lessons with Andre this past September and he had no experience on his new guitar. In the past 4 months he has been pleased and relaxed to go to his weekly lessons with Andre. We love how Andre often sends a follow-up video to help us as parents know what he is to be practicing. We have been amazed that with limited practicing at home (we can really only keep his focus for 10 minutes a practice) he is now playing some songs, knows all the chords and is VERY proud of himself. Thanks Andre we are excited to have music in our son's life and look forward to continuing lessons with you.

André is an excellent guitar teacher. In our first lesson, he took the time to understand my guitar history, where I felt stuck, and specifically how I wanted to expand my guitar skills. In only a few lessons I had learned new techniques that were relevant to my goals as a singer-songwriter, and which were immediately applicable to my craft — I wrote several new songs using what I’d learned from André, and we’d just gotten started! 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, with each week building on the one previous. He is very good at explaining concepts and demonstrating techniques, and even sends short follow up videos which are extremely useful for home practice. I’m excited to continue learning with André and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a comprehensive, supportive, and enjoyable approach to learning the guitar or expanding their skills.

André is a great guitar teacher and I highly recommend him. As a musician, he's highly skilled and adept at a wide variety of styles. As a teacher he's patient, explains things clearly and in ways I understand, and makes learning the guitar - including the theory behind it - fun. I learned more from him in the first few months of lessons than I ever did by teaching myself from online videos and the like. My playing is improving and I now have a deeper understanding of the instrument. I'm excited about playing the guitar again and want to learn all I can from him while I have the chance.

This guy is a genius!!!! I've learned more from him in 60 minutes than I have in 6 years.

Andre has been teaching our daughter to play the ukulele since 4 months, and she really likes it a lot. She enjoys going to the weekly classes, and makes slow but steady progress. The main thing is she has fun making music.

André is a highly skilled instructor and master guitarist. I really appreciate how he has focused on lesson plans that hone my skills and challenge my abilities. He is accomplished in being able to play a multitude of different types of music. This makes it much easier to try new things in different styles. I was quite surprised to see that he was actually taking notes on my progress. The fact that he will at times record a particular exercise or section of a piece of music we are working on is also extremely helpful. I enjoy his enthusiasm, insight, and great sense of humor. Very happy to have him as a guide on my musical journey!

Andre has been teaching an online lesson to my 10 year old Jaxen for a few months. It is going wonderfully! With so much patience and care, Andre inquires into each students musical taste and preferences to find a pathway that will foster their love for the instrument. Jaxen has been having fun and practicing every day. Andre is very professional and prompt, and an excellent communicator. Would highly recommend 🙂
