Andrew J. Smith

"I hope you decide to either begin or continue your musical journey today, and I would be honored to help you do that. Let's start making music!" - Andrew J. Smith


Andrew received his degree in Music Education from Bob Jones University - a regionally accredited institution, and upon graduating with honors, began touring with a Christian band. He has been teaching music for over nine years, and loves being able to share music with thousands of people across the globe through both teaching and performing. 

Andrew's musical experiences began in the 7th grade when he taught himself how to play trumpet. In high school, he competed and placed in several state-wide trumpet, voice, and music theory competitions, and band and choir competitions were the highlight of his school year. Through all of this, the fretted instrument family (ukulele, guitar, dulcimer, etc.) quickly became his primary instruments.

Theory is very good. Practice a bit slow for me as I know how to play a bit already

I really love that hes taking the time to teach the theory behind the music. I finally understand what a chord actually is, which I think is very helpful.

By Sanket Pusalkar on 11/8/2020

I already had most of the knowledge of chords and basics of ukulele before taking this course. I expected more on 3 finger chords and how to switch chords faster.
The knowledge in this course is great for a complete beginner without any prior knowledge.
