What Previous Students Are Saying
"Skip the apps and gimmicks and get the proper concepts from a trained musician"
"Freteleven’s teaching method and content was the only “formal” music training I’ve ever received and the methods and concepts I learned have literally lasted a lifetime. Skip the apps and gimmicks and get the proper concepts from a trained musician!"
- Matt McKay
"He once again pushed me forward and continued to introduce me to great new music and influences"
"After hitting a musical plateau, I came back to him 5 years later. He once again pushed me forward and continued to introduce me to great new music and influences. I could listen to him play music any day of the week, so to have one on one lessons with him was a real gift. You will be very happy with him as your teacher"
- Greg Ramsden
"...but more importantly, Andrew crafted me into a musician"
"I took lessons with Andrew for 5 years through my college degree. He is an incredible guitar player, but it's his passion for music as an art and as an industry that is truly contagious. He incorporates theory, production, ear training, charting, arranging and a deep love and joy for music in all his lessons; there's no question that music runs through his soul. I definitely graduated as a better guitar player, but more importantly, Andrew crafted me into a musician"
- Chris Green
"He’ll inspire you to do better because he believes you can"
"Andrew Gingerich, like all great coaches, is encouraging and supportive. His calm and relaxed teaching style puts you at ease and makes learning guitar fun! He won’t dwell on your mistakes but doesn’t overlook them, either. He’ll inspire you to do better because he believes you can! He was patient with me but could always light a fire under me to get me back on track! Thanks Ging!"
- Simon Prettie
"Andrew opened my eyes to the level of details in songs that I have listened to for years"
