Read what some of my students have to say!
“We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Andy as our children’s piano teacher for the past five years. From the very beginning, he has been exceptionally caring, patient, and deeply invested in both of our kids growing in confidence and character.
Under Andy’s guidance, we have watched our children develop a genuine love and appreciation for music. His teaching goes far beyond technical instruction; he has an amazing ability to inspire, motivate, and bring out the best in each student. He creates an environment that is both disciplined and encouraging, allowing our children to thrive while truly enjoying the learning process.
Over the years, our kids have achieved tremendous growth and success, including performing very well in provincial competitions. Much of this is a testament to Andy’s dedication, expertise, and unwavering support. He has always challenged them thoughtfully while celebrating their progress every step of the way.
What stands out most about Andy is how much he truly cares. His kindness, professionalism, and passion for teaching are evident in every lesson. We are deeply grateful for the positive impact he has had on our family and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional piano teacher.”

“Andy has been my children’s piano teacher for the past eight years. My daughter's enjoyed taking lessons with him from the very beginning, connecting with his warmth and his consistently positive approach. Andy is a very patient and caring teacher, especially with young children. My daughters developed a passion for learning how to play the piano, to read and to even create their own music after taking classes with him. Thank you, Andy, for helping my kids. You are the best piano teacher anyone could ask for.”

“We’ve had a wonderful experience with our children’s piano teacher, Andy, over the past year. Teaching two kids under ten takes incredible patience, and he has been consistently calm, encouraging, and supportive throughout their lessons. We’ve seen steady growth in both their confidence and musical ability, and the recitals have been very well organized and a great opportunity for the kids to showcase what they’ve learned. We’re very grateful for his dedication and commitment to their progress.”

“Andy has been my children’s piano teacher for the last six years. He taught my daughter first and is currently teaching my son RCM Level 9. Andy is very dedicated and knows the right pace at which to teach each child. He has not only been a great piano teacher, but a strong mentor to my son. He has always looked for opportunities for my son to perform and to help him gain confidence in his playing. Andy’s choice of pieces for his students’ performances demonstrates a deep understanding of music. I highly recommend him for his sincerity and skill. It has been an absolute pleasure working with him.”

“Mr. Andy has been teaching my brother and I piano at home for around four years. First of all, he is a very committed piano teacher, and he always challenges us to put in our 101% effort in everything we do. Secondly, he is very flexible, which is a rare quality for a piano teacher to have. Thirdly, he is a young piano teacher, so he relates well with us. For instance, my 10-year old brother loves pop songs like Toosie Slide by Drake & Mr. Andy went out of his way to create custom sheet music to teach him - how cool is that!! To conclude, Mr. Andy is a phenomenal teacher given his commitment, flexibility and youthful personality.”

“Andy Kitusa is a wonderful and incredibly knowledgeable piano teacher. I have been taking piano lessons from him since the seventh grade, and he has never been anything but patient and kind. I remember being a bit nervous at the prospect of a new piano teacher, but Andy’s friendly and hardworking demeanour from the start reassured any nervousness or doubt. Our lessons are both fun and productive, and I feel that my piano skills and overall confidence have improved greatly since I first started taking lessons from Andy!”

“I had taken piano lessons for thirteen years before my twenty-five year hiatus. Andy is the best piano teacher I have had. He picks up on things my other teachers didn't. He is proactive in finding relevant books for me to practice from, not just songs, but exercises too. As an adult learner, it's nice to have a teacher so talented but who can also meet you exactly where you are.”
