“Equally amazing as a prolific composer/arranger, performer, and educator, Andy Reiner IS the complete package. One of the most well-rounded young artists in contemporary string playing, Andy carries himself with the wisdom of someone twice his years, bringing a self-assured presence, unique voice, refreshing optimism and all-around positivity to every project he is a part of, setting a tone for all who work with him in any capacity to feel total joy and affirmation, (which is what we should feel whenever we are doing music!)”

“The after effects of your sessions at UWW and the WiASTA String Expo continue to resound with positive vibes. You have a talent and gift to engage people in the creative process without judgment.”

“Andy is a genius at encouraging creative play. He established an environment in which our students were empowered to create, explore, experiment and express, all without fear of judgement. The impact of his teaching was both immediate and lasting. He has not only influenced the music education students who will be tomorrow’s string teachers - he has also reshaped my definition of comprehensive musicianship and music education. We are so happy he came to UNH!”

“Andy’s music for string orchestra is something new in the genre. His love of rhythm is fully manifest in the creative use of string instruments, creating a pulsing, rocking ensemble supporting Andy’s considerable harmonic and melodic gifts drawn from classical, jazz and folk music.”

“You can hear happiness pouring out of me . . . You’ve literally given me freedom to be me.”
