Education: University of Maryland - Bachelors of Music (Clarinet) - Expected Graduation Date: May 2022

Performance Experience: I have extensive Concert Band, Orchestra, Jazz Band, and Solo performance experience including performances with UMD's Wind Orchestra, Symphony Orchestra, Wind Ensemble, and University Jazz Band. I also have extensive solo recital experience both in the University of Maryland and out of it. I've played at UMD's Dekelboum and Gildenhorn recital halls, as well as the Music Center at Strathmore.

Teaching Experience: I am a private teacher for the New Horizons Clarinet Choir at the University of Maryland and have been for 2+ years.

Teaching Philosophy: I believe that teaching the instrument is simply not enough as a music teacher. I think that as a music teacher, my job is first and foremost to teach the student how to play music, and an instrument is simply an avenue to that destination. In teaching music to the student, I also hope to be able to instill a love of music and a passion for learning within all of my students.

Hi, I'm Andrew and I'm a premiere clarinetist in the Maryland and Virginia area. I have extensive experience in all genres of music including early classical music all the way up to jazz and pop music. I was a finalist in the 2020 Sidney Forrest clarinet competition, and have held principal spots with multiple of University of Maryland's ensembles. While I am primarily a clarinet player, I also play saxophone as well, having experience in both pit orchestras and jazz bands. I look forward to teaching you!
