Andrew Boyd
Andrew is a Berklee graduate in teaching and composition. His main weapon is an acoustic guitar but to put a label on him would be criminal. He is creative and willing to listen and try all styles of music. He can help you learn and understand the guitar better than most. From the most fundamental concepts to the most advanced, he can walk you through it until you are comfortable with it. Andrew has been teaching for many years in the Boston and Southern New Hampshire areas. He is available for lessons during the weekdays before 3 for adults that don't have the 9-5 gig, and Sundays. He is a tremendous asset to Manchester Music Mill and we are glad to have him helping us out. Check out some of his work at Myspace (http://www.myspace.com/proreverb68).
