ANDY SOLBERG
Ensemble Instructor - Jazz, Rock, Fusion
Ensemble Instructor - Jazz, Rock, Fusion
Denison University, 1979, B.A. in music (major in theory and composition and studied classical guitar for four years)
In his own words, Andy "has had the pleasure" of teaching ensembles at the JMPC since 1985. A consummate musician, Andy performs regularly on guitar, vocals, violin, and bass. He also plays keys, drums, trumpet, and steel pedal guitar.
Andy currently teaches 4 ensembles at the JMPC- a jazz group, a fusion group, a rock band, and beginning Improviser's group. His laid-back, relaxed and positive personality informs his teaching style. When teaching ensembles Andy considers his role to be that of a "coach", helping horn players and rhythm section players understand how to feel the "groove" of a particular song and how to fit into that particular groove. When teaching students how to improve on a particular song, Andy's varied musical background enables him to offer suggestions unique to every instrumentalist in the group.
Since 1996 Andy has been the Music Teacher at the Pencroft School (K-5) in Norton, Massachusetts.
