I had one lesson with Andy prior to taking my grade 6 alto sax exam. I found it very helpful and learnt a lot in the hour, learning some new techniques and helpful tips and ways to improve my playing of the exam pieces. Andy has such a lovely calming and encouraging manner too which was great at increasing my confidence. I believe the lessson I had with Andy significantly contributed to me achieving a merit. I would highly recommend him as a teacher.
Andy performs in my band 'The Soulshine Band' and he is truly one of the best sax player's in the business. His tone is breathtaking, and his playing is pure class. I'd recommend him to anyone without any hesitation. He's also an extremely warm and friendly chap to boot :) Anyone who has the opportunity to receive tuition from Andy is extremely lucky!
