| Biography | |
| Andrew Johnstone read music at Oxford University, where he was organ scholar of Worcester College, and studied organ playing with Thomas Trotter.

From 1989 to 2005, he was successively assistant organist at Dublin's two Anglican cathedrals. He has performed throughout Ireland and the UK, and in France, Germany, New Zealand and the United States. Since 2005, he has been a regular contributor to the review columns of The Irish Times. He was appointed a lecturer at TCD in 1992. | |
| Teaching interests and responsibilities | |
| Musicology (Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque), rudiments, notation, counterpoint and fugue. A textbook on counterpoint and fugue, articulating for present-day students principles that were fundamental to the training of composers from the sixteenth century to the eighteenth, is nearing the completion of a five-year trial in the Department of Music. It is geared to such learning outcomes as fluency in notation, alertness to intervals, audiation, management of simple musical forms, and appreciation of the axiomatic basis of Renaissance and Baroque music. Many of the worked examples it contains are by TCD students. | |
