I have been having lessons with Tom for the past few years now, and he has been consistently brilliant. He was my biggest help in recovering from my tonsillectomy and strengthening my new voice. He helped me through third year of drama school and my third year shows, he's helped me prep for my different cruise contracts and tackle incredibly difficult songs, and he's helped me with my audition rep which has landed me two contracts already. And to top it off he's a great guy who's easy to talk to and whose main priority is helping his students, even going above and beyond by helping me outside of lesson time when I was recovering from my tonsillectomy. I'm still using the exercises and tips he's given me every time I warm up and practise. Can't recommend him enough!

My son has been learning with Andy for over three years and absolutely loves his lessons. He really responds to Andy’s teaching style and loves the music he picks. His guitar lesson is a highlight of his week. Thanks Andy!

Andy is an excellent and imaginative guitar teacher who has taught our son for three years now. During this time he has really brought the instrument to life for our son and this has coincided with a much wider interest in music generally for him. Very highly recommended.

Andrea was my guitar teacher for 8 years. He helped me prepare up to grade 5 in ABRSM. He was amazin

Andrea was my guitar teacher for 8 years. He helped me prepare up to grade 5 in ABRSM. He was amazing in practicing pieces, and preparing me for the exams and concerts. His lessons were fun and I always was looking forward to the lessons. I am hoping in some time I would like to restart some lessons with him based on rock.

Brilliant, talented teacher

Andy is a brilliant teacher for our teenage daughter. He is seriously talented, able to teach her seemingly any piece she chooses, with no notice! She loves her lessons & her technique has improved no end.

Andy Basiola Guitar teacher

Sam, 14 y.o. I have been taking lessons from Andy for almost two years and in this time I have made such progress I did not expect. I improved drastically my legato and sweep picking, timing and picking hand tightness. Progress aside he is just scarily good. He has both great technique and feel, which is something you don’t find too often. He is a great teacher, very patient and helpful and well as being a really nice person overall.

Tom Hier incredible singing coach

Tom is the best singing teacher I have met! I’ve been using his exercises for 4 years now which has helped me recover completely from vocal surgery. I have had quite a few singing teachers at my time through 2 different drama schools and no one compares to Tom. He is incredibly knowledgeable about singing technique and vocal recovery but not only that he really cares and makes you think that anything is possible when it comes to your voice. He is such a great support and I would not be where I am today without his help !

One of a kind!

I honestly can’t recommend Tom enough. I’ve been working with him for about 10 years now, and the impact he’s had on my life and career has been huge. He didn’t just help me develop my voice as a singer — he helped guide me in the overall direction of my professional career.Tom is incredibly kind, genuine, and someone who truly cares about the people he works with. Over the years he’s supported me through so many stages of my journey, not just with singing, but with advice, encouragement, and helping me make the right decisions for my career.What I appreciate most is how much he genuinely believes in his students. That kind of support makes a massive difference, especially when you’re trying to find your way in the industry. I’m really grateful for everything he’s done for me and for the foundation he’s helped me build.If you’re looking for a teacher who is not only amazing at what he does but also truly invested in your growth as a person and a professional, Tom is the one. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Superb teacher and mentor.

Have been working with Tom for around a year now. He really knows his stuff. Material that felt completely impossible when I started he’s made well within comfort. As someone who had lots of experience singing in ensembles but not much technical knowledge, he’s taught me an invaluable amount, both practically but also anatomically. I started with a chest voice and a falsetto, feeling like as a baritone most of contemporary MT was off limits; I wasn’t even sure a mix was a thing until I turned up to Tom. Brilliant at diagnosing room for improvement, he’s given me personally tailored exercises and I’ve felt I’ve had everything I need to keep working on things. Tom is a professional actor and very very talented singer himself, which means he’s often busy. So whilst timetabling is occasionally difficult, that’s exactly what makes him such a privilege to have. He knows his craft and consistently working himself means he always fresh ideas for others. He really is TOP class. Singers in Guildford are lucky to have him on their doorstep!
