With over a decade of experience teaching clarinet and saxophone, as well as performance degrees from two of Canada's most renowned music schools, Andrew has developed a thriving studio of musicians from all ages and skill levels in his home base of Saint John, New Brunswick. His students have performed in the Saint John Youth Orchestra and the New Brunswick Youth Orchestra, won prizes at both the city and province-wide Competitive Festival of Music, been featured as soloists and on recording projects, gone on to pursue music at the university level, and been hired for professional engagements throughout the Maritimes.

He has worked as the group woodwind coach for both the Saint John Youth Orchestra and the New Brunswick Youth Orchestra, and has been regularly called upon to run rehearsals and sectionals for community and high school bands in Saint John and around New Brunswick.
