Teaching

After many years, and schools I’m no longer taking on students. My focus is now on writing/recording music full time.

A Big thankyou to all I’ve met and taught over the years.

I have now moved to Kirwee, just out of Rolleston

I’ve been teaching Guitar for over 12 years in Rolleston, which is just outside of Christchurch.

Andrew’s tutoring has been a great experience for me. He passes on his understanding and skill in a clear concise manner. But most of all it has been fun and I can now confidently play the guitar. -Paul O’Dea

I am writing in support of Andrew’s skill and abilities as a guitar teacher. My son, Ryan, has been learning guitar for 3 years; the most recent year with Andrew. Andrew has been an enthusiastic and encouraging teacher for Ryan. He has been able to stretch Ryan’s guitar skills in different styles and has also developed his understand of music theory. -Linda Gage
