Andrew is truly exceptional. My son has been taking lessons from Andrew for several years. He has learned not only guitar technique and music theory but also the joyful pursuit of worship. Andrew is more than a great teacher—he is a true worship leader and has led my son into a deeper relationship with God through music. There are not enough words to express my gratitude.

Here are some questions you might have:
WHAT IS THE PRACTICE SPACE APP?
The Practice Space App is a game-changer for music teachers and students alike! This app replaces traditional paper journals with an interactive digital solution to make practice more engaging and practical. Whether using Apple devices, Android, or a web browser, you can access a robust platform that keeps students motivated and organized.
With real-time tracking, students can see their progress as it happens, fostering a sense of accomplishment. Achievements and rewards create an engaging practice environment. At the same time, the app helps set clear goals and milestones to keep students on track. It’s not just about practice—it’s about progress, growth, and celebrating successes. Ready to take your music education to the next level?
WHAT IS THIS PROPRIETERY GOAL SETTING SYSTEM?
At YWEH Music, we believe that a goal without lessons is just a dream, and practice without a goal is simply a pastime. That’s why we’ve developed a proprietary goal-setting system explicitly tailored for musicians to bridge the gap between inspiration and long-term success.
This innovative approach helps students set clear, actionable goals and integrates them seamlessly into their lessons and practice routines. Focusing on measurable progress and meaningful milestones ensures that every practice session has a purpose and every achievement builds toward a larger vision.
One of the main reasons many students give up on their musical journey is a lack of clear goals. Our system combats this by fostering motivation, accountability, and a sense of accomplishment, empowering you to stay committed and thrive as a musician. It’s more than just a method—it’s a pathway to unlocking your full potential and truly transforming your life through music.
IS THIS VIRTUAL OR IN-PERSON?
These VIRTUAL lessons are provided with my LIVE Google Meet platform. Assignments from the lesson will be put on the Practice Space app, along with any videos, links, or images to help complete your musical goals.
HOW MUCH DO LESSONS COST?
Guitar lessons are provided by an experienced worship pastor who is also the Artistic Director of YWEH Music School and Studio. Each lesson costs $50, or you can purchase a monthly package of four lessons for $180.
HOW DO I KNOW THIS ISN’T JUST ANOTHER “GUITAR LESSON”?
Most guitar lessons stick to rigid classical or rock-focused methods, which can be limiting for musicians who don’t intend to specialize in those genres. At YWEH Music, we do things differently. Our program is built on a modern worship methodology that draws inspiration from 400 years of Western music history, blending timeless principles with contemporary techniques.
This unique approach doesn’t just teach you how to play—it transforms you into a versatile musician capable of adapting to any genre, collaborating with other artists, and thriving in diverse musical environments. Whether you’re leading worship, jamming with friends, or playing in professional settings, our lessons equip you with the skills to excel wherever music takes you. We don’t just teach guitar; we shape musicians ready to unlock their full potential.
WHAT IF I’M JUST STARTING OUT?
That’s fantastic! Starting fresh means no bad habits to unlearn. Our lessons are tailored for beginners, focusing on building a strong foundation in practical music theory and essential guitar techniques. We take you step-by-step, ensuring you grasp the basics while developing confidence and creativity.
You’ll learn how to play the guitar and gain the skills to jam with other musicians effortlessly. Beyond music, the discipline, focus, and problem-solving skills you develop in our sessions can have a positive ripple effect in different areas of your life. We’re here to guide you every step of the way and make your learning journey enjoyable and rewarding.
What's your background, Andrew?
I grew up in a musical family and began my journey at 4, quickly becoming an accomplished vocalist and pianist by age 12. In high school and college, I trained under nationally recognized choral and voice teachers, honing my skills as I performed in concert and jazz bands across the Midwest.
Today, I have the privilege of leading worship and coaching others in worship leadership nationwide. While pursuing degrees in Music Composition and Entrepreneurship at St. Cloud State University, Jesus captured my heart and transformed my life. No longer a musician focused solely on performance, I became a passionate worshipper devoted to leading others into the presence of God.
Over the years, I’ve led worship in various settings—large gatherings, intimate spaces, and even moments for an audience of One. In addition to leading, I’ve equipped and trained countless musicians for worship teams.
Four years ago, I was led to establish YWEH Music School & Studio, where I now provide in-person and online personalized lessons. I also serve as a pastor and worship pastor at High Praise Central MN and High Praise Brainerd Lakes, continuing to combine my love for music and ministry to glorify God.
