I very much enjoyed working with Andrew for over four years as Organ Scholar at St Thomas's Church, Stourbridge. It was a steep learning curve, particularly at first, and I still vividly remember my first service under his direction and wondering what I had let myself in for! But Andrew's desire for perfection cultivated my sense of determination to tackle any repertoire that came my way, be it solo or accompaniment. Andrew’s very strong musicality was so apparent in both playing and direction, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to study and work alongside him.
