Honest - Funny - Understanding
Andrew has a gift for helping others get out of their shell. His friendly, fun personality is disarming. His enthusiasm is contagious and he is an amazing motivator. Andrew has a knack for tuning into his students’ unique personalities, skills, interests, and goals. Lessons with Andrew are unique to each student as he follows the flow of what they want and need out of their time with him.
Mr. Smith’s farmhouse recording studio is decked out with all kinds of fun music and production "toys" including everything needed to make a full fledged high quality recording, mixed and mastered. He helps student musicians write, record, and produce their own records.
Mr. Smith says, “One of the best parts about what we do here is the hands-on experience we give our students with music production and mixing/mastering. We live in an age where this technology is very accessible to people of all skill levels, and I love watching young musicians come to this realization so that they may spread their wings and work on their own music at home!”
Our studio has a plethora of musical instruments, effects, synthesizers, microphones, drum kits, etc. to play with and help us find just the right sounds you might be looking for.
Mr. Smith also specializes in creative/artist mentoring which includes working on an official release, social media presence, and all of the extra non-musical things that go into making and producing a piece of music.

“From the first lesson on, Andrew has been the most positive, encouraging and energetic teacher. Not only a gifted musician yet a very talented professional teacher. He consistently makes every lesson enjoyable yet at the same time encouraging our son to push himself into new challenges musically. We were so impressed with the live playing opportunities that Earth Song organized. To see our son on stage, feeling so comfortable playing music is a cherished memory. Thank you!”
