Andrew Schiller:
Andy studied the Suzuki Method from ages 7-18, beginning his study of the Suzuki Violin in 1982. Andy got his first electric guitar at age 13, and focused on rock songwriting and acrobatic lead guitar techniques during the 80s. A high-school interest in orchestration inspired him to study classical guitar performance. After performing in Carnegie Hall at age 19 (in 1995), Andy went on to earn a BA in Music Business/Arts Entertanment, with an instrumental focus on Electronic/Synthesizer Music from Siena Heights University. He has also studied with Sharon Isbin at the Aspen Music Festival, Eliot Fisk at Hillsdale College, Jason Vieux at Cleveland Conservatory, Benjamin Verdery at the Hawaii Festival, and Ricardo Iznaoloa at the University of Denver. Andy has also lived in Rome, Italy and performed concerts as a resident solo artist with the Rome Festival Orchestra. He has also appeared as a soloist with the Adrian Symphony Orchestra. In the summer of 1995, Andy lived in Paris, France, studying language and Art History. In the summer of 1996, Andy lived in Sao Paulo, Brasil, studying and performing Samba music. He taught full time in Boulder CO for 13 years for Robb's Boulder Music, and has also taught for the Colorado Music Festival and the Rocky Mountain Center for Musical Arts, and the famous Herb David guitar studio. Andy has been an Adjunct Professor at Siena Heights University as well as Adrian College. He currently teaches at OZ's Music Store in Ann Arbor, MI.
Andy is a percussive fingerstyle acoustic artist, who adds electrtic guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, ukelele, fiddle, (or any other stringed instrument), as well as samples and loops to his pieces. He feels comfortable playing bluegrass or blues, metal or acoustic, Celtic or Brasilian, Classical or Postmodern. A band he has coached, Locoboco, performs rock songs in Danish. His instrumental compositions have been chosen by playwrights, ad agencies, therapists, and compilations. He has released three CDs of solo acoustic guitar music. His latest, Horizons, was recorded by three-time Grammy winning producer, Tom Wasinger. Andy's latest music video featuring acoustic percussive guitar "Behind Those Eyes" is featured on his YouTube channel. http://www.youtube.com/andyschiller. He is currently writing, performing, and recording songs at Epicenter Recording studios with Mike Binder and MGB Records.
A Certified Pro Tools Operator, Andy has engineered for Scharren Studios, AudioMatrix, Denver Musician's Union Studios, the Toledo Symphony, and Strawberry Fields, Omega 13 records, and Atlantis Studios. He also owns and operates BeyondGuitar.com, a website featuring his own video guitar tutorials.
