    Andrew has been teaching private lessons since 2010 and is currently available to teach lessons at his studio or online, traveling to your location is acceptable upon attendance in person to his studio so he can get to know you a little more. Your lessons will be tailored to your needs not my own, I will adhere to your goals and help you refine them for long-term success Andrew has helped students with beginning piano, advanced vocal techniques, refine their performances, and revealed the understanding, reason and motivation behind performances. Also he has educated students on introductory video productions methods, how develop a brand and introductory marketing. Lastly, Andrew has helped students create basic-moderate web design through word press, and how to keep it updated and current on your own. Andrew will give you the essentials you need to start creating/performing in any of these environments and pursuits. Andrew received his musical training at Azusa Pacific University in 2014 where he received a Masters of Music in Composition with an emphasis in Film & Television writing. As an expert in his field, Andrew looks forward to helping new students achieve their goals. Andrew's teaching style is relaxed, understanding, and full of patience. Again, for students who would like me to travel to them, I am asking that you please sign up and attend one lesson in my private studio before traveling arrangements can be made.

    Andrew was very patient and explanatory- he is thoroughly knowledgeable in WP and offered to help in several ways that I hadn't thought about. I look forward to future ongoing lessons as I expect my end product to be exactly what I want.

    Music Instructor

    Jan, 2011 - Jul, 2014

    The Way Fellowship Church in Association with GRIP

    I was asked by my pastor and members of the Gang Reduction Intervention Program to volunteer my time and services as a music educator to at-risk youth and children. Taught Vocal Lessons - Ages 6-18 Taught Piano Lessons - Ages 6-18 Taught Beginning Theory - Ages 6-18 Due to the unique nature of the students I worked with, a structured course material proved fruitless, however taking a reverse approach and allowing them to tactile place their hands on an instrument and make noise then introduce materials yield better retention and committed interest and attention.

    Digital Storytelling

    Aug, 2016

    Future Learn

    This certificate covers a look at filmmaking theory and practice, and how they interact to produce good and even meaningful stories, helping you develop short films for digital platforms. Whether fact or fiction, there are many principles and processes that make a story work on film, so that what viewers see is more than just a sequence of events, but is instead a compelling narrative, which holds their attention, makes them think and keeps them coming back for more. We will cover all aspects of production – from how to research your story to adding the finishing touches in the edit. The course will address many issues along the way, including critical thinking; story structure; style; genre; ethics; legalities; practical techniques for camera, sound and lighting; and more.
