I've been playing percussion for over 20 years. I am a tenured percussionist with the Houston Ballet Orchestra and perform regularly with the Houston Symphony Orchestra, San Antonio Symphony, and Ft. Worth Symphony. I hold two music performance degrees from Baylor and Rice University.

I approach music with a holistic mindset: with work ethic and discipline, yet also empathy and passion from the student's perspective. I see music as a tool to enhance the expression that already exists within the individual, however pinpointing necessary skills that still need to be developed.

Andy Blanco is a percussionist in New York City with a diverse career of performing and recording with symphony orchestras, opera companies, chamber ensembles, bands, singers, composers, and on Broadway. He is currently a percussionist and assistant conductor for West Side Story on Broadway.

Playing and teaching music is my life and passion! I have been playing music since the 1980's. While I received my Bachelor of Music Degree in Classical percussion, my tastes in music are extremely wide ranging. Everything from Classical to Music theatre, Latin/Brazilian, Canto-pop, R+B, Funk, Industrial, Armenian and Persian Folk music.
