About Andy

Hi! I'm Andy Millar, and I have been teaching guitar and bass since 2018.

My own musical journey began in secondary school when a guitar playing friend of mine encouraged me to buy a bass-guitar so we could start a band together. By the time school finished, the band wasn't as rich and famous as our teenage minds had hoped - but I knew I wanted to play music for the rest of my life.

I began taking on students while at university in 2018 and I have loved encouraging others and teaching them how to improve. After 5 years of studying music and with 4 years experience teaching it to others, I made this website to cohesively display what I have to offer to anybody I teach.

What I stand for as a teacher:

I believe music lessons should be fun, motivating and inspiring.
I believe music lessons should give the student a lifelong appreciation for music alongside the skills they learn on their instrument.
I continute to hone my own skills on the guitar and bass to ensure I am always improving and using my own musical skills in bands, recording music for others and just for fun.
I believe catering to each student's needs, keeping in mind their own personality and music they like is essential to delivering a fun and effective teaching experience.

“Andy was great and enthusiastic for our session. I needed help getting my head around scales and Andy provided me with good clear tuition. He also left me some riffs and licks to keep practicing with to help with improve technique. I'm looking forward to continuing my lessons.”
