About Andrew

I believe learning music should be an inspiring, personal journey not just about notes on a page, but about finding confidence, creativity, and joy in sound. My lessons draw on my experience as a performer, producer, and musical director, but every student’s path is unique. Whether you’re taking your first steps on piano or violin or refining your artistry for the stage, I aim to make lessons engaging, flexible, and genuinely fun a space where you can grow musically and expressively at your own pace.
Music has been my lifelong playground from the moment I could reach the piano keys to performing under chandeliers in London’s West End. I bring all the colour, rhythm, and stage energy of my professional career into my teaching.
My goal is simple: to help every student find their own musical voice whether that’s through a Chopin nocturne, a jazz improvisation, or a dramatic film theme. 
 With decades of experience performing, producing, musical directing, and teaching, I’ve played piano and violin on some of the most exciting stages from Phantom of the Opera in London’s Her Majesty’s Theatre to open-air festivals and elegant hotel ballrooms.
 Working with actors like Carey Mulligan and Kris Marshall, playing for BAFTA award winners, and shared the stage with folk-rock bands and opera stars.
 When I’m not teaching, I’m running my own studio, producing albums, or directing music with students who surprise me every day with their passion and originality.
 --- Professional Highlights
 Studio Owner –
Music Director, Producer & Session Musician – shaping sounds, nurturing artists, and occasionally rescuing runaway cables. Phantom of the Opera – Her Majesty’s Theatre, London 1st Keyboard (Deputy) – where every note has to shimmer in the dark.
 The Hypochondriac, The Almeida Theatre, London Music Director & Keyboard Player, coached Carey Mulligan, Kris Marshall, and Ronni Ancona through the musical madness.
 Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros Rough, Violinist for the band’s album launch folk-rock meets chaos (in the best way).
Pianist at The Savoy, Violinist for The Violin Sings national tour, and music director for Bugsy Malone. I’ve orchestrated everything from classical crossover concerts to jazz nights, operas, and festival shows.
My students have gone on to exciting careers, some in music.
I still love teaching piano, violin, voice, and performance craft to students of all levels.
 --- Skills (and Superpowers) • Piano & Violin Performance • Musical Direction & Conducting • Vocal Coaching • Music Production & Studio Work  • Composition & Arrangement • Collaboration & Creative Teamwork • Public Speaking & Confidence Building • Sharp Ear, Quick Wit, Reliable Beat
 --- Training Royal Academy of Music (G.R.S.M Hons, L.R.A.M) Studied with Alex Kelly, Ruth Harte, Jill Thoday, Olivier Messiaen & Yvonne Loriod.
Previously Grade 8 Distinctions in Piano, Violin & General Musicianship --- Awards • Harry Farjeon Prize – Composition Excellence, Royal Academy of Music • The Archway Trust Piano Award – for outstanding performance • Bedford School Music Bursary – for excellence in piano, violin, and voice --- Memberships • Musicians’ Union • Equity (Application in progress) • Full UK Driving Licence (No endorsements, and yes, I’ve played gigs in vans too!) --- When I’m Not Making Music You’ll find me in the kitchen perfecting a risotto, organising charity events, or hanging out with my cats, who occasionally try to “help” during practice sessions.

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile! I bring enthusiasm, fun, and genuine love for music to every lesson I teach. My aim is to make learning music something you look forward to engaging, creative, and full of those “aha!” moments that make progress exciting. I teach piano and violin to students of all ages, abilities, and musical interests from classical to pop, jazz to film, and everything in between.

Every lesson is tailored to you: your goals, your pace, your musical personality. My professional background spans from performing Phantom of the Opera in London’s West End to serving as Musical Director at The Almeida Theatre, and giving classical recitals across the UK and abroad.

Of course, performance experience alone doesn’t make a great teacher, effective teaching is an art of its own. My Licentiate of the Royal Schools of Music training has given me a strong foundation in pedagogy, technique, and musical communication, ensuring that every student (from complete beginner to advanced performer) gets clear, structured, and inspiring guidance.

 Whether you dream of performing on stage, playing for relaxation, or simply discovering the joy of music, I’m here to help you get there one enjoyable lesson at a time. Looking forward to meeting you and making music together!
