Mission

At AEMusic Studio, we promote music learning as a lifelong creative pursuit. We believe that by building strong musical foundations early, students can discover their unique voice as musicians and artists. Through an intentional approach to instrumental technique, music theory, ear training, music history, creative exploration, and leadership development, we empower students — regardless of age or level — to master their craft and shape their own artistic journey. While saxophone remains a central focus, AEMusic Studio uses music as a broader vehicle to explore, understand, and create at the highest level.

Meet Andrew

Andrew E. Morrison is an instrumentalist, composer, educator, music education advocate, and the founder of AEMusic Studio.

Since first picking up the saxophone, Morrison has studied music privately, experiencing firsthand how impactful one-on-one instruction can be in shaping a lifelong relationship with music. Through performing with a variety of ensembles — including the NJ All State Wind Ensemble — winning a collegiate concerto competition, and serving as a drum major for the world-class Drum Corps, Carolina Crown, he developed values such as discipline, leadership, a high level of musicianship, and a deep love for learning — values he strives to instill in each of his students. Morrison believes that regardless of the career path his students pursue, music can remain a lifelong passion and source of inspiration.

As a performer and educator in contemporary, jazz, and classical styles, Morrison has studied with world-class saxophonists and educators including Bruce Williams, Sherman Irby, Jonathan Ragonese, and Allen Won. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Jazz Studies from Montclair State University. Currently, Morrison teaches privately, presents clinics, and performs throughout New Jersey, helping students of all ages develop strong musical foundations and a love for creative expression.
