About Andrew

I have extensive experience of teaching, performance, production, musical direction and teaching, in a range of styles on both piano and violin; working in London’s West End and internationally. As a solo artist I have recorded five albums, given piano and violin recitals and established a recording studio. Having also worked in a number of bands and collaborative teams, as an accompanist on the international opera scene and a session musician, I have achieved considerable professional acclaim. I seek to build upon my success going forward, through continued teaching & live performance work.

All ages, all styles. 98% Exam success rate!

Good day and thank you for reading my profile. I bring to my teaching enthusiasm, fun, professionalism and a love of music. I teach in all styles, ages, and abilities.
I have gained a wealth of professional experience from the top of the music and theatre professions; for example from my classical recitals, to performances including world-famous Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty's Theatre in the West End of London, and being Musical Director at The Almeida Theatre, Islington.

I bring these skills to the lessons within the framework of effective teaching & learning. My training for the Licentiate Of The Royal Schools Of Music has given me both innumerable technical teaching methods, along with musicality and also the license to teach piano & violin, equally effectively to beginners and advanced players.

I'm looking forward to speaking to you :)
