Andy is a fabulous musician, and an outstanding teacher - my son learned so much in such short time, and the depth of his understanding expanded so much. read more

I have had the pleasure of teaching besides Andy on numerous occasions. Simply put...he is the best of the best. As a teacher, Andy delivers an extremely thorough approach to his lessons, always going the extra mile to make sure his students have the tools they need to succeed. Whether working with group classes or a private lesson, he always creates a fun and relaxing learning environment for everyone. However, what sets Andy apart is that he is both a gifted and in-demand performer in the theatre and jobbing scene here in Chicago. His vast working experience is invaluable to anybody lucky enough to study with him. I highly recommend Buffalo Grove Drum Lessons. read more

Our son has been taking drum lessons from Andy intermittently for a few years now and he has been great to work with. He has all of the attributes you want in a music teacher - ability on the instrument, patience to work with young kids, and persistence to keep doing it year after year. Highly recommended if you want to get your kid into drumming and especially rock music. read more

Andy is a great teacher and person. It's very patience and professional. Always flexible and teaching deeply the drums. I am a musician too and I really appreciate that he works hard with my son for giving him strong foundations for learning properly the instrument and the rhythm. Highly recommended. read more

Andy is a godsend to our 11 year old burgeoning drummer. We were fortunate enough to find Andy nearly 3 years ago Northside of Chicago and we've have him over every Friday for 30 or 60 minute lesson since. He's young which keeps him relevant to younger kids but still has similar tastes in music as the patents. He's since been referred him to 2 other school families and only great results from this too. From Andy's teachings, these kids span their musical wings that much further as evident on their school performances. Continued thanks for everything Andy! read more

I would highly recommend Andy for drum lessons. In addition to being an excellent drummer, he has a curriculum that can really help students make solid progress from lesson to lesson. He's a great guy, and his personality makes him very relatable to children, teens, and adults. If you're looking for lessons in the area, Andy is who you should choose! You can't go wrong! read more
