(Guitar and Bass Instructor)

Andy picked up his first guitar at age seven and then took weekly lessons for 10 years with Bucks & Philly great, Ed Flanagan. Andy played the Jersey shore circuit with in the late 70s with the R&B funk masters, Dead in the Water.

Andy began teaching in 1980 at the Music Barn in Warminster, PA. He attended BCCC and Temple University, earning his musical BA in 1986. Andy's not just a children's instructor, either. He enjoys his older students just as much as his younger ones. He's even been known to get into one-on-one battles and jam sessions, which makes perfect sense. His band, Prisoner, was a popular opening act in the 1980s for Philly bands the A’s, Robert Hazard, and New Jersey’s Pretty Poison. It was also during this time that he met his wife, Nancy.

As a self-described “gear hound” and “ethnomusicologist”, Andy is well-versed in a variety of playing styles. He does not believe in the usual published book method of learning. Instead, he creates custom learning plans that enable his students to achieve their goals on the guitar and bass. Before joining Absolute Music School, Andy had been teaching privately since 1992. Andy can take soloists and groups from the clueless to world-class.

Cristina Duffey is beyond excited to become a member of the staff at Absolute Music School, which she herself attended for 11 years. Before graduating Spring of 2021 from West Chester University of Pennsylvania with a BA in Theatre, she performed in shows such as Fefu and her Friends (Cindy), My Fair Lady (A.P Doolittle), and even was able to dip her toes into virtual performance once before with She Kills Monsters: Virtual Realms (Vera). Other roles include Paulette in  Legally Blonde, The Baker’s Wife in Into the Woods, and Lady Montague (Romeo and Juliet.) She is trained not only in Musical Theatre performance, but also in all other aspects of theatre such as costumes, hair and makeup, scenic design, lighting, and much more. She would love to thank Nancy for the opportunity to do what she loves at a place she’s loved for over 10 years!
