Andrew has, for the last 7 years been employed as peripatetic woodwind teacher with the Northamptonshire Music Service helping them increase their time in schools providing work for his colleagues, by being very enthusiastic and highly dedicated to his job. He has managed to draw on his many years of professional experience to nurture many ‘high flyers’ on all woodwind instruments both in daily school teaching and in evening private teaching. Andrew has also produced excellent results in the training of ensembles (chamber, wind band, orchestra), in the Trinity Music Centre, at the Music Service, and in his schools.

Andrew has had approximately one hundred and thirty-five students each year, about 40 flutes, 60 clarinets, 13 bassoons, 7 saxophones, and 6 oboes. He has only had a small number of bassoons, oboes and saxophones.

Some 567 passes including, 139 merits and 99 distinctions, all within the past seven consecutive years in Northampton’s schools.

One of Andrew’s students has succeeded in gaining  an Associated Board Diploma (DipABRSM flute) in her year 12 (age 16), December 2002, probably the only student flautist to gain such  distinction in Northamptonshire.
