As orchestra teacher and conductor at Walpole High School, Andrew Bedrossian teaches and conducts eighteen students who play violin, viola, and cello. Having graduated from Walpole High School in 2007, Bedrossian is very familiar with the Walpole community.
After graduating from Walpole High School, Bedrossian graduated from Rhode Island College in 2011, and he attended the Longy School of Music.
In addition to teaching at WHS, Bedrossian also teaches an after school program in Westwood and, of course, teaches here at MockingBird.
Bedrossian has worked with both elementary and middle school orchestras, and his development to high school orchestra was a natural next step.
"I love to see the development of students of all ages. Bedrossian said."It's gratifying to see someone who struggled with some aspect of music overcome those challenges and go on to become a strong musician."
This love of teaching has had a very positive impact as his students will attest..."He's very friendly and we always feel at ease even though we're working hard." sophomore and first violin Emma T. said.
Bedrossian is looking forward to experiencing the future development of the orchestra and is very grateful for the opportunity to teach at WHS.
"It's been fantastic," Bedrossian said. "Everything just kind of aligned. The stars aligned."
