Joseph Waggott

Former organ student, former organ scholar at St Thomas’s and now theory student

I have had many music teachers since first learning the piano at eight years old, but so few of them have been such innate musicians as Andrew. His determination to deliver the best education for each student is evident in each and every lesson. And there is always a lesson to be learnt! There is no trace of the old adage “Jack of all trades” here! Whether decoding the trills in Bach, or breathing the life into Howells, his meticulous approach taught me the art of the musician, and not simply the way of the organist. Andrew’s tuition and musical influence has inspired me to follow the path towards professional musician, and I am now studying Organ at the Conservatoire in Birmingham.
