Andrew has been a full time specialist guitar tutor at Cannon Hill Anglican College since 2013 where he teaches over 50 students and runs three guitar ensembles. He has released several albums of his of music, and performs regularly around Brisbane in various formats.  

In an amplified guitar ensemble, guitarists can play fun songs together in a large group with drums and bass. While some schools do offer this, it tends to be rare. Most school guitar ensembles tend to be unplugged acoustic groups with a classical focus.

So if you're a guitar or bass student who's always wanted to try this format, or if you just want to keep playing music after school's finished, this is the program for you!

Parents, feel free to grab a coffee or lunch after you drop off your young guitarist. Or, if you want to hang around and listen, the air conditioned venue has a seating and a kitchenette. 

Check out the dedicated Youtube Channel 'High Road - Guitar Ensemble' where the arrangements are showcased for you to listen to.

Want to know what the Holiday Guitar Program is all about? Start here.

Launched back in 2012, High Road is the name of Andrew's main YouTube Channel, 'High Road - Musician' devoted to all things music. You'll find videos on how to record with Pro Tools, how to Build a Recording Studio, How to Build a Guitar and even how to play drums with your feet. 

To take the High Road as a Youtuber is to make content with substance, to avoid making click-bait. To take the high road as a musician is to play and create authentically, to avoid short-cuts and easy paths that lead nowhere. This approach is at the heart of Andrew's music and teaching.
