About Andrew
I tried a year of conventional keyboard lessons and discontinued feeling frustrated & disillusioned.
This got me rethinking conventional music learning by switching from a bottom-to-top approach (notes, notations, time signatures, etc.) to a top-to-bottom approach (what does a song consist of, and working backwards to the individual components).
-
Over the next ten years I taught myself the guitar, keyboard, piano and music production through this method and eventually did my Master's in Music Production at the Leeds Beckett University in Leeds, England. One day as I was hanging out with a family, their daughter was on the keyboard and I went over to show her how to play, and my teaching plan was born!
-
Now, in case you're wondering: no; I'm not trying be the cheesy "learn the keyboard in 30 days" kind of guy. It's just that I recognise that not everybody can flourish with the same conventional learning style and we need an updated, flexible learning plan. Having begun with teaching children aged 5-10 to where I am now, you'll find my methods really simple and engaging.
-
What else do I do? I work as a music teacher with Greenwood High International School. I've been producing music independently as The House of Asaph and compose background music for various media forms from animated series to short films for 5+ years now (including the award-winning series: Gideon the Dinosaur).

Want to learn to compose music & play your favourite songs without being bogged down in the nuances of music theory? Then you've come to the perfect place!
-
Using a simplistic and focused approach to music, I cover:
1) Notes, Chords & Chord families
2) Chord Progressions
3) Popular Time Signatures
4) Playing Techniques
5) Playing by ear
-
So why learn with me? Because I spent 10 years teaching myself to play by ear, compose & produce and in the process I crafted a simplistic, to-the-point learning plan for people like me who want to get their creative juices flowing: like you!
Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
Andrew sir is an exceptional piano teacher and truly deserves recognition as a Superprof. My daughter has been learning piano under his guidance, and my experience has been nothing but outstanding from the beginning.
What I appreciate most about Andrew sir’s teaching methods is his patience, encouragement, he understands the student’s individual pace.
He explains musical concepts clearly and makes it easier for my preschooler to understand easily.
I am pleased to share my strong recommendation for Andrew, who has been teaching music and music production to my son. Andrew is an exceptionally talented educator who brings together deep musical expertise, patience, and a genuine passion for teaching. He makes learning enjoyable. What stands out most is his ability to tailor his teaching style to each child’s pace and interests. My son enjoys his classes. I would wholeheartedly recommend Andrew to any parent looking for a knowledgeable, inspiring, and dedicated music and music‑production teacher.
Having observed his classes with pre-schoolers all the way to young adults, I can say that Andrew is able to adapt his teaching style for any age group and yet make his classes simplistic and engaging.
He also has a unique way of linking concepts so that it encourages students to apply what they've learnt to newer topics, so it's really effective!Andrew is really skilled at being able to break down complex topics into simple, bit-sized chunks for learners of any age group to understand. But he goes beyond that by making his lessons exciting (with a touch of humour) to listen to so that there's never a dull moment. And I say that as a primary school teacher who's sat in on his lessons!
