Since 2005, Andy has been teaching private lessons in the Raleigh/Durham area at his studio. Throughout that time, he has had many students audition for and place highly in All-District, All-State, and All-National concert and jazz bands. More than anything, Andy is passionate about seeing his students grow and discover the joy in music no matter what their ability level. Students focus on developing a strong foundation in reading, sound production, musicality, and stylistic interpretation. Andy has a Master of Music from Rutgers University where he studied jazz performance with Conrad Herwig. He also has a Bachelor of Music from UNC Chapel Hill where he studied classical performance and pedagogy with Mike Kris.
Lessons can be taught in-person at his studio or online and students can choose 45-minute or 60-minute lessons.
