He knew exactly what he was talking about and he showed me the [recording] studio and the [sound] boards around the school. I wasalreadykindofinterestedinlearning theory, but he was just explaining it in a way that was easy to understand and that just kind of made it feel like home.” Now, four years later, Andrew continues to hone his craft by taking theory classes, playing music, and finding opportunities to keep writing. “Part of what was really helpful with Keith, his particular grounding in Scripture, and [practices like] reading music-related scriptures before class [helped me learn] that it’s not wrong to want to be as skillful as you can be,” Andrew said. Asking [yourself], ‘Are you doing this for you or are you doing this for God?’ And it’s not wrong to want to be the best at what you can possibly do. It’s just the intention of it.” “I don’t intend to go into ministry at all,” he continued. “I want to write music for video games or film or whatever, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be a minister wherever I end up. Especially after school, I want to go to Montreal because that’s where a lot of video game studios are.” “Hopefully through my time at Briercrest I’vedevelopedenoughofasolidfaiththat I can kind of withstand [an environment that may be hostile to Christians] and not fall down to that—and just being in a studio of people that generally won’t be believers. So [I want to be] the best I can be as a musician and as a composer and as an engineer. [And I want to] interact with all the other composers, musicians, and engineers in a way that would both show Christ’s love and also the ability that I’ve cultivated here.” Andrew Young is in his fourth year of BA Music.
