ANDREW MCRAE

Hi, I am Andrew and I have played drums for 10 years. I started my drumming journey at the Bishopbriggs School of Music when I was 8-9 years old and have taken it all the way up to university. I am currently studying the BEd (Bachelor in Education) course at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, studying Drumkit as my principal study.

 

I have played Drums in many rock bands over the years, one of which being at the music school, and others in school and out-with. I competed in the Rock Fest “Battle of the Bands” held at Motherwell Concert Hall in January 2020. I am also currently part of an uprising Rock Band. I have played live many times due to the opportunites I’ve been given by Bishopbriggs School of Music whether that was playing myself to a backing track or playing live as a Band.

 

I love teaching, it is something I am very passionate about and I love giving other people the opportunity to branch out and show their creative sides. I have been taught quite a few pupils, and also due to my university course and my experience playing live, I can develop my students’ ability and I can also support and give advice when it come to a live performance.
