Years of Teaching Experience
Andrew Vineski is a versatile pianist, vocalist, songwriter, and music educator based in Austin, Texas. With a classical foundation and a passion for pop, rock, and original music, he teaches students of all levels to build solid fundamentals, rhythmic groove, expressive playing, and the confidence to create and perform their own sound—whether in classical repertoire, pop/rock keys, songwriting, or band work.
From Classical Keys to Austin Stages – Andrew’s Musical Journey
Andrew holds a Bachelor’s degree in Piano Performance from Texas State University, where he received formal training in classical piano, music history, music production, and theory. During his studies, he performed with the Texas State Wind Symphony and built a strong rhythmic foundation through ensemble experience in marching band and percussion at both high school and collegiate levels.
As a performer, Andrew is deeply embedded in the Austin music scene, having played at iconic venues like Stubb’s and Sofar Sounds, along with numerous private events and collaborative projects. He is an active songwriter and bandleader, writing and performing original piano-driven rock and alt-influenced music with his own band. He also works as a recording artist, session keyboardist, and arranger, contributing to pop, rock, and classical-influenced productions—including collaborations with members of Blue October.
Andrew teaches because he loves helping students connect deeply with music—whether mastering classical technique, jamming pop/rock grooves, crafting their first song, or simply finding joy at the keys. He tailors every lesson to the student’s unique goals, emphasizing strong fundamentals, rhythmic awareness, musical expression, and building lasting confidence so they can play with freedom, creativity, and their own voice.
