Frank P. says, "I think what I appreciate the most about lessons with Andrew is the value I receive. I’ve had such fun with the real world application he brings the lessons, he has affordably priced and he gives so much more in value than I could possibly imagine. I have been most thankful for the way he has lifted up my playing from just knowing a few chords and being frustrated at YouTube to actually strumming full songs now and playing at home and with friends and family. Thank you so much! And congratulations on the Better Business Bureau rating! " Read more

Maurizio taught my 12-year-old daughter more in a few lessons than she learned in 8 months with her former instructor. His approach is practical and intuitive, but most of all it is fun. I would recommend his lessons without reservation.
