“It is exciting to watch our daughter’s tuba ability tremendously improve through Andy’s teaching. She is pushed beyond what she thinks she is capable of and gains skill and confidence from it. Andy is personable, friendly, and engaging. He consistently expands her network of musicians and helps her navigate the various decisions she has to consider on the path toward college and beyond. We are sincerely thankful for his guidance and support.” -Rachael (parent)
