Instructor Bio
"I hope you decideto eitherbegin or continue your musical journey today, and I would be honored to help you do that.Let'sstart making music!" -Andrew J. Smith
Andrew received his degree in Music EducationfromBob Jones University - a regionally accredited institution, and upon graduating with honors, began touring witha Christian band. He has been teaching music for over nine years, andloves being able to share music with thousands of people across the globethrough both teaching and performing.
Andrew'smusical experiences began in the 7th grade when hetaught himselfhow to play trumpet. In high school, hecompeted and placed in severalstate-widetrumpet,voice, and music theorycompetitions,and band andchoir competitionswerethe highlight of his school year.Through all of this, the fretted instrument family(ukulele, guitar, dulcimer, etc.) quickly became hisprimary instruments.
Andrewbelieves that everyone can experience playing an instrument for themselves - that it isnot reserved for a select few "talented" people. He believes the secret to getting better at musicisnot in simply receivingquality content, but in learningthat contentin a way that makes sense.In other words, it's notwhat you learn, buthow you learn it!Learning music is just like learning to walk - youhave to take the first step before attemptingthe second. If you don't, you are going to end up frustrated and confused. That is why Andrew strives tocreate courses that not only provide quality course materials, but are structured in a straight-forward,sequentialorder.
