Student Testimonials

"Our 10 year old daughter has been taking bass guitar lessons with Andrew for almost 2 years. His patient teaching style and positive attitude have helped her learn an instrument in a joyful, fun way. We are grateful to have found him and even more grateful that our daughter can keep learning and loving music with his guidance!" -Lia F.

"Andrew Bonnis is a superb musician. I have studied with him for 4 years on music ranging from Johnny Cash to Mozart and find him to be a warm, upbeat, and patient instructor whose students range from kids to 72-year-olds like myself." -Ron L.

"Andrew is the most supportive teacher! I had zero experience with the upright bass when I started my lessons, and was very nervous to start... but with his positivity and accessible teaching style, I was able to enjoy the learning process, learn lots of tunes, and now even perform publicly! Highly recommend!" - Christine K.

“Andrew has been a fantastic teacher and mentor to our daughter. She studied guitar with Andrew for over four years, and he always kept it light, interesting and fun. As a multi-instrumentalist, she’s in college now, pursuing her dreams in music.  Andrew’s guidance, advice and support has always been generous. He has been able to share his experience with her not only as a teacher, but as a professional musician.” - Amy M. 

“It is with the greatest enthusiasm that I recommend Andrew Bonnis as a guitar and music instructor. While studying under Andrew, I had the opportunity to co-write some music with him as apart of a Veterans Song Writing Workshop. The two songs are currently in production and will likely be released this summer. Andrew helped me realize a dream and we got to perform both songs live. While exploring the guitar with Andrew, you will find new avenues to investigate. I certainly did! Rock On!” -Mark R

“My son has been taking lessons with Andrew for seven years. Alex has progressed in his guitar lessons remarkably. He has moved from simple chords to reading and writing his own music. Andrew has the patience and the creativity to make learning guitar interesting and fun and will make the most novice learner a life-long music lover. Beyond developing his musical skill, my son has gained a trusted tutor and mentor. I wholeheartedly recommend lessons with Andrew-he is a true professional who brings out the best in every learner!” -Maribel M
