MUSIC LESSONS

“As a home schooling mother of 24 years, I am very picky as to who I allow my children to learn from, and Andy was more than a wonderful teacher.  Both of my children learned so much and continue to do so, due to Andy and his caring mentorship of my sons.” – Paula, mom to two young musicians

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS

Andy Rumsey (left)
After witnessing firsthand the energy of a live rock-and-roll concert, it was a short jump for Andy from listening to songs to playing songs to then writing his own. Since then, Andy earned a degree in audio engineering, developed a background in music theory, and built up 15 years of live performance and studio experience.

Jason Perry (right)
As a music educator, Jason believes his primary duty is to cultivate passion, joy, and comprehension for each student’s musical journey. Jason has been teaching guitar and voice students over the last seven years and has ample experience playing in a variety of bands.

With backgrounds rich in musical expertise and teaching, Andy and Jason are here to guide you through the wonders of music education.
