He began playing the drums at around two years old and settled on piano at the age of 10. He has achieved first place in the state for composition contests and competed as a finalist in the Appalachian State Concerto-Aria Competition. Drew has accompanied the Appalachian Symphony Band on piano and performed pieces composed by other students. Drew has music readily available under his name on all listening platforms. He has always had a love for the complexity of music theory and all the different directions that can be explored. 

Teaching Philosophy: I have loved music since I can remember! To be able to share that with students and give the tools/resources to understand music is a great feeling. My goals are to provide a knowledgeable base of why music sounds the way it does as well as improving technique and playing ability.
