Information About Andy - Crediton teacher -

(5 reviews)

Personal Description:

I teach in the Exeter area, spending several days each week in Exeter as well as at home in Crediton. Having studied music at Sussex University, I immediately became a professional musician and spent 30 years recording and touring the UK, Europe, the US and Japan with a variety of internationally acclaimed artists, playing bass, keyboards and guitar. I moved into production and session work, and continue to guest on bass and guitar with several bands.

Tutoring Experience:

About 12 years ago I started teaching in London’'s Denmark Street, taking on a wide of variety of bass and guitar pupils of most ages and abilities, and most genres. I moved to the South West a few years ago, and teach both guitar and bass, taking several pupils successfully through the Trinity Rock and Pop exams.

"Andy is a complete legend. Having never picked up a bass guitar, he had me playing live on a West End stage in 'The Commitments' within a year. He makes it stress free and fun, and I couldn't recommend him enough!" Mark Dugdale, who played 'Derek' in the West End Production

“Andy patiently got my son through Grade 3 and 4 Trinity Guildhall exams with flying colours!” A.B.

Tutoring Approach:

From adult and young adult beginners and players wishing to expand their approach, to professionals learning a new skill or seeking a new direction, I feel I can give something to each student; an approach to learning both the instrument and repertoire, an understanding of theory if wanted (!), or coaching through national exams, including academic and theory exams. I don't teach primary school aged children.
