Testimonial
Andrew's passion and knowledge for music education is inspiring for young people who want to forge careers in the music business. His book 'Welcome to the Jungle' is the most thorough publication summarising the current (and ever changing) landscape of the music business and opportunities within in the industry. Andrew draws on many years of experience as a publisher, journalist, teacher, lawyer and manager and it is important that this knowledge is passed on to the next generation of music industry professionals. - Patrick Donovan, Music Victoria
Andrew Watt is a perfect example of how a knowledgeable and passionate teacher can elevate a learning experience and broaden a students potential. His passion for the entertainment industry and educating the next generation is inspiring and inescapably motivating.
