Testimonials
 
  As shared by current and former students of Andrew Chan.

"In addition to his musical talents, Andrew has been blessed with the warmth, patience, humour and understanding of a natural born teacher. I eagerly anticipate each lesson! As a University student without previous musical experience, I approached my interest in the harp with trepidation. However, after my very first lesson, I knew that with Andrew’s guidance, I’d not only learn from a gifted harpist, I’d also have a lot of fun doing it! Thanks Andrew."

"Andrew clearly enjoys teaching children and communicates well with them. He is patient, enthusiastic, supportive and understanding. Each week, Andrew sets our daughter achievable goals; he assesses her rigorously, but very sympathetically. She feels empowered to learn and motivated to improve. She finds his lessons fun, yet demanding. She looks forward each week to her lesson and clearly feels at ease with him. Andrew seeks to instill in his students not merely strong technique and a solid grounding in music theory, but also an appreciation and importance of the aesthetics of music.
Our daughter was reluctant to play; Andrew is very largely responsible for both her enthusiasm and her remarkable progress. We have found him extremely accommodating beyond the context of lessons. When we came to invest on a harp of our own, he offered his knowledgeable advice freely. We recommend Andrew wholeheartedly."

“Andrew is a wonderful person and a great teacher. When I first met him, I was drawn in by his enthusiasm for music and especially for the harp. Over the past year, Andrew has helped me to learn the harp, using his professional attitude and his loving character to guide me.
As a senior, I was very timid about learning the harp, but Andrew has made learning the harp an easy and beautiful activity and I have progressed beyond anything I hoped to achieve in a year.
Andrew has also collaborated with my husband on the building of a classic 36 string lever harp, and with his knowledge, I now have a beautiful instrument on which to practice. I recommend Andrew as an excellent teacher to anyone of any age. I and my family, thank you.”

"As a mature student, I have always felt very fortunate to have Mr. Andrew Chan as my harp teacher. I found him to be a remarkably talented young harpist and a superb performer. He is a skilled, knowledgeable, learned and experienced harp teacher who always carries himself in a professional manner. As a young person, he is mature, accommodating, helpful, supportive, kind and sympathetic to his students and with his peers. I wish him great success."
