Andrew Lloyd Walker is a pianist and private music instructor.
  He graduated Cum Laude with a B.A. degree in Piano and a self-designed minor 
  in World Cultural History from Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa.  

  Prior to his attendance at Morningside College, He had experience playing alto 
  and tenor saxophone, piano, jazz percussion, classical guitar, vocal performance, 
  and violin.  While at Morningside he participated in a men's choir and a baroque 
  ensemble playing harpsichord alongside his studies in piano performance.  At the
  end of his junior year he worked with his piano professor in recruiting members 
  of the music department to participate in the construction of an Italian Virginal 
  Harpsichord, which was then donated to the Morningide College Music Department. 
  Images of this instrument can be found in the Gallery.  The summer between his 
  junior and senior years he worked as an intern for the National Music Museum in 
  Vermillion, South Dakota.  There he gave tours, worked with the care and preservation

  Andrew has a love for world history, particularly the ancient to medieval periods.  In an effort to combine both his musical background and love of world history
  he studied abroad his senior year in Belfast Ireland, attending Queen's University Belfast.  There he studied Ethnomusicology and Ethnomusicological Social
  Anthropology.  During those studies he participated in various ethnomusicological ensembles:  Javanese and Balinese Gamelan, an Irish Drumming ensemble,
  and a Ghanaian Drumming ensemble.  He had training in uillean pipes, lambeg, bodhran, both Irish and Ghanaian use of the djembe, and the talking drum.  He
  spent some of his free time in pubs learning and listening to traditional Irish music, and in the process learned how to play the Irish Whistle and Ocarina.

  Andrew now teaches piano privately in the Greater Des Moines Area in Iowa.  He also teaches World Music and Group Piano through the Des Moines Symphony
  Academy.  He received certification in the Creative Teaching Style and underwent training in the field of Piano Tuning and Repair in 2007.   He hopes within 
  the next year or two to begin construction on another period instrument; perhaps a clavichord or another virginal harpsichord.
