About
Hi. My name is Andy Richard. I am a multi-instrumentalist and music teacher.
I specialize in piano, electric and acoustic guitar, ear training, and theory lessons. I am offering your first lesson and consultation for free.
I customize private lessons for each student. I teach people music they want to learn and music that will help them to become excellent musicians! Many of my students have told me that they learn a lot from me while having fun!
My lessons are for beginner and intermediate students of all countries, ages 5 and older, who are reliable and love music. I also teach and have experience teaching students who require special education.
I’m available to teach many days and hours weekly, online only.

They can choose to read music or tablature, or I can notate what they are learning in a manner that is comfortable for them.
