Meet Your Teacher, Andy

I am incredibly passionate about music of all types, my goal is to ensure that it is taught in an engaging, relaxed and inspiring way! 

I have worked as a fully qualified Lecturer and Curriculum Manager in Further and Adult Education for over 14 years (fully DBS checked and Safeguarding trained).

I have worked as the lead guitarist in an original rock and roll band and also as a solo artist for over 25 years. This work has seen me perform across the UK in small intimate venues through to larger festival stages as a touring musician and also at local Norwich based venues such as the Waterfront, Norwich Arts Centre and the UEA.

The time spent as a working musician has also provided me with experience in recording studios across the country when producing albums, singles and EP’s to showcase my work.

I am also a published songwriter and lyricist.

Guitar Student Testimonials


  • "Andy put me at ease from my first lesson. Now 4 years on and I still absolutely love coming to lessons every week!"

    Harry Stibbon

    "Andy has allowed me to go from knowing absolutely nothing about guitars to being completely confident in my playing. He is always bright, fun and welcoming and I always look forward to my lessons with him."

    Caleb Holland

    "Andy is a fantastic teacher who makes every lesson enjoyable. His vast knowledge of repertoire has allowed me to explore all kinds of genres, and his explanations of different techniques are always clear and easy to understand. I’d recommend lessons with Andy to everyone I know!"

    Emily Pinching

    "Andy is one of the best musicians I know, a great chilled guy with an amazing musical knowledge who I have been learning from for over a year now. Because of his help, I now play regularly in public both gigging and busking."

    Joules Martin

    "I first picked up the guitar with Andy in 2018, and he has gone above and beyond in terms of his teaching, particularly during lockdown zoom sessions. He's incredibly personable, friendly, encouraging and always makes time to help his students, even outside of lessons. Because of him I have really come to love the guitar, and I could not have asked for a better teacher!" 

    Simone Mathias


  • "I cannot think of anyone else I would rather have as a guitar teacher and I am so glad to have found him to teach. I have been learning guitar with Andy for over 5 years, at time of writing. Andy is simply immense in my eyes - flexibility to my needs but completely attune with our shared passion for theory: why things work, fretboard finger placement and when chords sound right or wrong and, most importantly, why. He adopts an informal approach for our lessons that really suits my needs perfectly: this in turn has allowed me to develop confidence in my playing whilst also actually learning to play something in the minimum time I have to practice. Couldn’t recommend him more highly!"

    Simon Kirby


  • "I have been taking lessons from Andy Norman for  a few years now. I am currently 75 years old and had no previous musical experience and I am learning to play guitar purely for my own pleasure. I have found Andy to be an excellent teacher - friendly, positive, knowledgeable with great patience and a real sense of humour. I am making real progress and look forward to my weekly lesson. Andy really thinks about the individual he is teaching and structures his lessons based on what the student is looking to achieve rather than having a rigid structure. He has also been helpful when I have had problems with an instrument or other equipment which needs some adjustment or repair. I can very highly recommend Andy based on my personal experience."

    Dennis Wells

  •  

    "I’ve been taking lessons with Andy for approximately 6 years now, and it has easily been the best thing I’ve done for my guitar playing. 
    Originally being self taught for 4 years, I started lessons to sit the LCME guitar grades, increase my knowledge of music theory, and to learn more about other styles of guitar playing. Andy’s skill set as a musician, and a teacher, have helped me to accomplish far more than I would have ever been able to achieve from continuing to teach myself.
    It’s been an absolute pleasure to take guitar lessons, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Andy to anyone wanting to learn the guitar, or improve their current skills!"

    Jordan Bromage


  • "Andy is an excellent teacher, whether you are an absolute beginner or an experienced guitarist. He is extremely patient and takes time to explain how music works to get the most out of your playing. Andy can adapt his teaching to all styles and across the decades. He always teaches you in a style and at a pace most suitable to you. Andy is very dedicated in his role and helps you take care of your guitar to ensure that it sounds its best. He has a great studio, perfect for the lessons to be delivered in. He is flexible in his approach and encourages his students to take part in events to showcase their talent and help build confidence in their playing. I would highly recommend Andy as an excellent guitar teacher."

    “A Great teacher''

    ''My daughter has been taking lessons with Andy for more than two years. Andy’s patience and encouraging attitude makes the learning process fun. His perseverance on making her grow her guitar skills little by little is remarkable. She has become confident and exhibits increased interest in music and also singing. Andy also encourages live performances where Nakshatra was given an opportunity to sing!  
    Thank you Andy for being there for Nakshatra and helping her with her learnings.''

    He does not rush you.
    He gives you lots of time to learn.
    My guitar journey continues to grow from strength to strength with his guidance, experience and expertise.
    Thank you Andy!
