Hello! I’m Andrew and I am currently accepting new students from total beginners to advanced musicians, to learn music through the harp! I also offer lessons for composition/songwriting, music theory, and improvisation.
How Lessons Work:
I offer:
weekly half-hour lessons
-or-
one-hour lessons on either a weekly or bi-weekly basis.I teach out of my home studio in Uptown Waterloo. Online lesson options are also available.
Lessons are booked one month at a time, for the same time each week. Lesson commitments are month-to-month. No contracts!
Some students prefer to bring their instrument to their lessons, but usually students will play on one of my harps.
No instrument required to get started! I have a limited number of loaner harps available for student use or purchase.
Teaching Philosophy:
I love teaching! I have been teaching the harp for ten years now, to students of all ages, experience levels, and interests. My teaching style takes a holistic approach with an emphasis on creative musicianship, and personal expression, while working towards student’s goals. Using a mixture of structured activities, free play, guided reflection, and technical exercises, my students learn not only to play the harp, but to understand music as a language and creative discipline.As a teacher I get that everyone’s journey will be unique, but I insist on always having fun along the way. Students learn how to play with their harp, whatever that means for them; be it classical repertoire, Celtic tunes, pop song arrangements, or something entirely their own.
Other things:

Now taking new students for piano and creative music lessons!
I love to help others explore the piano as an outlet for their expression and creativity. My students learn foundational techniques and musical building blocks that can be used for exploring any genre or style of music. I encourage my students to allow themselves to make mistakes and treat everything as a learning experience.
I also encourage students to bring to the lesson any musical material they desire to learn (songs, classical pieces, video game or movie soundtracks, jazz standards, etc.). Alternatively, for those who don't wish to learn to read standard notation, we can work on techniques for learning music by ear.
I believe that having a sense of play and enjoyment is most important for anyone’s musical journey. I offer lessons for all levels of piano, composition, improvisation, music theory, and any mixture of the above.
Send me an email to inquire about available times, book a free trial lesson, or ask me more about the lessons I offer:
