ABOUT

Andrew Morgan BA, R.E.C.E.

Andrew studied Violoncello at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, the electric and fretless electric bass at Humber College of Applied Arts and Technology. He majored in music at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. He also did piano studies at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto.

Andrew's vocal musical endeavors have taken him to the stage of Ottawa's N.A.C., where he sang in the OPERA chorus for the OPERA LYRAS 1998 production of Verdi's "AIDA".

Andrew worked on a volunteer basis as the bassist and band leader for the Sunnybrook Big Band, as well as the bassist for two years in Paul Robson's "Swing Machine". Both of these were 16-piece "big bands" which played music of the 1930s through the 1970's. Both bands were based in Toronto, Ontario.

During his third year of Jazz studies at Humber College (Toronto, Ontario), Andrew organized and led and performed as bass player in The Crows Nest Quartet, which performed regularly at York University in Toronto. His diverse background has taken him into the realm of MIDI music composition as well as into music education. He has played Soca and Reggae with the Ottawa band "HOT ICE", and Andrew Morgan was also keyboard player for the reggae and world music sensation, GALAXY, based in Ottawa, Canada.

He was also a bass, cello, and guitar teacher at the Manotick School of Music for seven years. He has performed as a "sideman" and recorded, in Ottawa.

Andrew was a teaching artist for Sistema Kingston for 2016/17

Andrew has played bass for The The Kingston Ceili Band and he recently played cello in the Quinte Symphony, Belleville's regional orchestra and occasionally can be heard at Local Open Blues Jams on keyboards, bass or guitar at the Kingston R.C.H.A. club or playing keyboards with Kingston guitar/vocalist, Shane Dunne.
