Hi, I’m Andy Hawkings, the creator of Numbiano—a revolutionary music method designed to make learning and playing music accessible, intuitive, and fun for everyone. With years of experience as a music educator and performer, I’ve always been passionate about finding innovative ways to unlock the magic of music for people of all ages and backgrounds. Numbiano is the result of my journey to bridge the gap between traditional music theory and modern, inclusive learning tools. Inspired by the teachings of Kodály, Jianpu, the Nashville Number System, and more, I developed this system to empower individuals to connect with music like never before. On this blog, I share insights into the Numbiano method, explore its roots in global music traditions, and showcase how it can transform your musical journey. Whether you're a beginner, a seasoned musician, or simply curious, I’m here to guide you on an exciting path to becoming a "music maestro." When I’m not working on Numbiano, you’ll find me teaching, performing, or exploring new ways to make music education even more magical. Thank you for stopping by, and I can’t wait to share the wonders of Numbiano with you!
