Professional guitar and music theory lessons
Andrew Booth is a university-educated (BMus) guitarist with over seven
years of teaching experience and more than double that in performance experience. He offers guitar lessons and music theory lessons in a variety of styles on classical guitar, electric guitar and acoustic guitar. Andrew delivers a conservatory-style music education with modern methods.

Students learn proper music literacy and technique while simultaneously developing the skills necessary to play in a band and create their own sound on the guitar - in any genre.
Rates and Booking
Andrew offers lessons in half-hour and one-hour durations. Students can book a single lesson or a recurring, weekly lesson spot in Andrew’s schedule.
Single Lessons
Single lessons are a great way to go over one or two specific topics that the student would like help with or to book a handful of lessons without needing to commit to a perpetual, weekly lesson.
Single lessons are billed one at a time or as a lump sum based on the number of single lessons booked at one time.
Rates: $60/hour
$35/half-hour
Weekly Lessons
Weekly lessons provide the student with Andrew’s committed guidance and support week after week. Andrew works with each weekly student to determine their goals and creates custom lesson plans to help them achieve said goals. In addition to lesson plans tailored to each student’s needs, Andrew holds students accountable with clear, weekly practice assignments and follow-ups during each subsequent lesson to ensure that the student makes meaningful progress. Weekly students have an assigned day and time that is reserved for them each week.
Weekly lessons are billed on a monthly basis, due on the first of each month. Each payment includes all lessons to be taken that month. This equates to four or five lessons per invoice, depending on how many lesson days there are in a given month.
Rates: $52/hour ($208/four-lesson month or $260/five-lesson month)
$31/half-hour ($124/four-lesson month or $155/five-lesson month)

Student Testimonials
“Thank you for teaching me and helping me master the art like you one
day. I’ve loved how you could relate to me on so many levels and
approach each class differently and uniquely. Our lessons are unlike
all the others since the dynamic matches a normal conversation. The
reason that I come back each week is because it does not feel like a
chore and I get to do what I love. Honestly, I didn’t have a fraction
of the passion for music I do today when I started. However, our
guitar lessons helped me see that music was where my heart was. After
so long, I believe I still have that same fire for guitar that was lit
all those years ago, and I know for a fact that’s no coincidence. Of
course, the songs we practice now are far more complex, but that
process feels just as fresh and simple as ever. I continue to look
forward to every lesson because I know I’ll come away with something
that will change my life. Andrew, thank you for your time and
commitment throughout the years.”
