Hi! My name is Liam. I’m an advanced drummer, guitarist, and pianist. I have training in Jazz, Classical, Rock, and Contemporary music. Since graduating The College of Saint Rose with a degree in Music Industry, I’ve played guitar and sang in multiple bands (currently Ten Most Wanted and Silver Arrow Band) that gig all over the capital region. I’ve been teaching private lessons since high school (I’m currently 26) and have taught students of all ages. I find that my proficiency on multiple instruments in numerous genres makes it easy and fun to teach students of all interests!

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.

These guys are great! I've played professionally and came to Peak to help me break some bad habits so I could improve my speed. Now I play faster than ever before, and replaced some of those bad habits I learned through the years.

She is as personable as she is talented. I felt she took a personal interest in me; I wasn't "just another student." I learned and grew under her tutelage. I am so glad to know her.
