Saxophone is one of my top subjects! I am a current Jazz Saxophone Performance major at Temple University. I have teaching and performance experience across many genres and in several different settings.

My name is Andrew, and I am a Saxophone player in the Philly area. I spent the last 2 years as a Jazz Saxophone Performance major at Rutgers University, and in the fall I began studying at Temple University. At Rutgers, I have had the privilege to study jazz/classical performance and theory with Ralph Bowen, Stanley Cowell, Mike Richmond, Joe Magnarelli, and many others. At Temple, I study privately with Dick Oatts. I have had experience performing in my own jazz groups, as well as in a rock/commercial setting across PA, NJ, and NYC, and have had private teaching experience in the Philadelphia area.

I was trained academically at PAFA to draw and paint still life, landscape, the human figure but as a child, my Mother introduced me to painting in the tub with newsprint taped to walls, with tempra paint in baby food jars to express myself. I love teaching young children but have worked with all ages, from tots to elders. I believe in teaching the process so that it is an experience of discovery and I provide a constructivist approach to learning, providing building blocks of information in lessons that provide tools for a strong foundation. I believe in teaching people how to learn and how to think.
As a Graduate of The University of Pennsylvania,I was driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. Later, I attended PAFA as Graduate School, which is one of the finest art schools in the country. As a professional Artist, I gained business experience,while teaching a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

Throughout my teaching experiences I have had the opportunity to work with numerous students with a variety of learning styles. My undergraduate experiences in Inclusive Education have influenced my beliefs in differentiating instruction, as I feel that my responsibility as a teacher is to adapt and modify instruction to best fit the needs of all my students. I feel very strongly that every student should be given the chance to learn in a safe environment where teaching strategies are implemented that include individual's strengths in order to best support their needs. In addition, I find it essential to motivate and encourage students in all subject areas.
My past experiences as a studying elementary and special education teacher include multiple classroom settings in both urban and suburban school districts. My time spent in numerous classroom settings has motivated me to value t ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While I enjoy business, working with children is my passion, hence why I am pursuing my teaching certification. I believe the best way to teach students any skill is to let them have hands on experience with it. As an example, in order to learn business skills, students need to practice the skills and understand their relevance in the real world.
I have a strong business background, with an MBA, CPA, and CIA. However, as a student at Susquehanna University, I also volunteered at least 2 days a week at a local preschool where I helped teach the students. In addition, I worked at a local elementary after-school program 2 days a week. I am currently pursuing my teaching certification through Drexel University.
