"There are two qualities in Andrew Wilder that mark him out as well-nigh unique in guitar-playing circles: one is his complete lack of conceit, putting himself entirely at the service of the music; the other is the level of intensity with which he performs, as if music-making were a matter of life or death. Which indeed, for the real artist anyway, it is."
– Paul Galbraith
"I have known Andrew Wilder for many years. Having had the pleasure to work with him in my
class both in Italy and Switzerland, I have seen his artistry develop and blossom. Andrew is a
sensitive, creative, thoughtful player; seldom have I met a young musician with such a true and
deep understanding of the reasons - and the emotions - behind the score.”
– Lorenzo Micheli
“The artistic integrity and poetic depth of Andrew Wilder are difficult to describe with words:
one has to see it to believe it. In the guitar world, there is only a fistful of performers who never fail to inspire me with their playing. Andrew is one of these rare artists, and he is definitely the youngest one. And when he walks on a stage and plays the guitar, he unfailingly takes my breath away with the wonders of his music making, from the very first note to the very last one.”
– Dr. Nicolò Spera
“Andrew is a very supportive, encouraging, and insightful teacher. It was a pleasure to take
lessons from him for two years during his time as Nicolò Spera’s Teaching Assistant at the
University of Colorado Boulder. For private students, Andrew provides constructive, detailed
feedback tailored to each student’s commitment and skill levels. During our lessons, I really
appreciated Andrew’s unique approach to scordatura and fingerings and creating musical flow on
the micro and macro levels. With his diverse experiences as a performer and self-produced
musician, Andrew is an ideal mentor for students interested in developing their multi-faceted
music career. In particular, he is a valuable resource for those interested in transcriptions,
arrangements and recording technologies.”

“Andrew is a very hard-working guitarist, which is one of the things that inspires me most about
him. He always respects his students’ approach and encourages them to try new things. When he
gives his own opinion he also opens a space for his student in a very supportive way. I believe
this is one of the most important parts of being a teacher; helping to find the student’s own voice
and guide them without insensitively imposing the teacher’s own ideas. Whenever I found a
chance to learn from Andrew in the last two years, I felt that he was happy to give his guidance
and support as a teacher.”
