Andrew Hagerman has been a professional musician and teacher for the majority of his 50+ years. Beginning his musical life at the early age of eight as an aspiring tubist, Andy continued his studies at the prestigious Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois. During his time there, MIDI and computer music were in their infancy, and Andy recognized the usefulness of these new technologies in aiding the creative process. He had a unique opportunity to learn these tools as they were being created and refined, and his quest for the best in audio and music technology ultimately led him to use and teach Avid’s Pro Tools.
