Summer college of musical knowledge (Updated with new photos)

Andy is in the midst of a two-week Syracuse University Summer College program. Here he is in front of the Hall of Languages with his SU-grad mom, Julie.

He's in the "Recording Studio Techniques and Practice" program, a hands-on course in the fundamentals of audio production. The classes are held in the recording studios in the university's Schaffer Art Building.

Andy's sister, Christine, took an art course at SU's summer college two years ago. She enjoyed the college experience and the course helped her build her portfolio.

The early word from Andy is that he's finding it very enjoyable and worthwhile as well.

Here are a couple of photos posted on the program's Facebook page that show Andy at work during the second week: On the electronic drum set...
