About Us and Our Founder

Since 2007...

Park Slope Music Lessons began with founder Andrew Ingkavet teaching his son Alejandro in his living room. After years of a long waiting list and having to turn away students, he began working with other master teachers who shared his philosophy of life skills through music.

 

Along the way, Andrew created the Musicolor Method, an adaptive and inclusive curriculum that is now being used worldwide.  He has been featured in the Telegraph UK, Thrive Global, and interviewed on various educator podcasts.  In the late 80's, Andrew was part of the team that launched the careers of Guns N' Roses, Megadeth, Tracy Chapman and Keanu Reeves' first film.  In the 1990's, he was a founding VJ for MTV-Asia broadcasting from Hong Kong.  While there, he co-founded the first digital marketing agency in Asia. 

 

 

Returning to New York in the late 90's, he rose to Creative Director at several large digital media agencies working on information architecture and user experience for clients including American Express, Chase, HP, Clairol and Seagrams.

 

An award-winning composer, he has scored several independent theater productions and films including Paramount Pictures' Noelle by David Wall, now available on Amazon Prime.
