Instruments: Guitar, Bass Guitar, Music

I'm a very high-energy, passionate instructor who is devoted to spreading musical knowledge as far and wide as I can. I played bass with Berea College's Black Music Ensemble for about a year. I also helped to found their folk ensemble, playing guitar and singing with them for another year. For the past five years, I have been developing my own musical character known as Andy The Dishwasher, focusing mainly on hip hop stylistically, but branching out into multiple other genres in various side projects.

My students regularly perform very well at state competitions, form bands of their own, and have found great cause in writing their own music outside of academia. Read More
