Biography
Andrew L. Cope is a trained musician, guitarist and educator with expertise in the fields of both classical and rock music. Much of his career was spent in secondary education in the employment of Staffordshire County Council, where he worked tirelessly to promote the relevance and pedagogy of popular music. Cope has acted as a consultant to advise, mentor and tutor other teachers as the trend for teaching popular music on the secondary curriculum caught on. Between 2004 and 2007, Cope studied under Professor Sheila Whiteley at the University of Salford, conducting research into the origins and syntax of heavy metal music, and was awarded a PhD for that work. Black Sabbath and the Rise of Heavy Metal Music was published by Ashgate in 2010. Cope currently works as a freelance author, musicologist, music educator and performer.
