Andrew studied conducting with Denis McCaldin at Lancaster University and subsequently won the Hertford Choral Scholarship to study with Peter Stark at Trinity College of Music (TCM). Having graduated with distinction, winning the Ricordi Conducting Prize, he is now in demand as a teacher and conductor in and around London.

At Trinity, Andrew's conducting work included Aaron Copland's ballet Appalachian Spring with the TCM Sinfonia, Heinz Holliger's experimental study in breath, Pneuma, with the TCM Wind Orchestra, and a concert of film music arranged by the late Stanley Black with the TCM Symphony Orchestra. In recognition of his successes Andrew was chosen as Trinity's entry for the intercollegiate Harriet Cohen Memorial Awards.

Recent performances include Malcolm Arnold's Symphony No. 3, Berlioz's Harold in Italy with the talented violist Samuel Burstin and a charity performance of Stockhausen's rarely performed Gruppen for three orchestras. In addition he has held teaching posts at Lancaster University, Trinity College of Music and currently works with the Trinity College of Music Junior Choir, the Stoneleigh Choral Society, The Wallace Ensemble, St. Paul's Sinfonia and the Southampton University Sinfonietta. In February 2004 Andrew was awarded first prize at the Allianz-Cornhill Musical Insurance Conducting Competition having received unanimous votes from both jury and orchestra.
