At eighteen, Mr Senn was accepted on a merit-based, full-tuition scholarship to study organ with Mr John Weaver at the world-reknown Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. Whilst at Curtis, he served as Assistant Grand Court Organist at the world-famous Wanamaker Grand Court Organ, where he played several of the twelve weekly recitals. He also held posts at St Peters Church, Philadelphia; All Saint's Church, Philadelphia; and Washington Memorial Chapel, the National Shrine in Valley Forge Park.

Upon graduation from The Curtis Institute, Mr Senn was appointed Organ Scholar at Truro Cathedral in Cornwall, England for the 2000-01 academic year. There he studied the English choral and organ tradition under Mr Andrew Nethsingha, and gained considerable skill as an accompanist.

Mr Senn has since returned to Philadelphia, and is Organist and Director of Music at St Mary's Church, Hamilton Village - The Episcopal Church on the University of Pennsylvania Campus. He has also returned to his previous post of Assistant Organist at the Wanamaker Organ.

Mr Senn has given concerts in many parts of the United States, Germany and England, including St Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey in London. He has also had coachings with Drs Paul Manz, David Schrader and Martin Jean. His first compact disc, "A Most Glorious Noise - Organ Music from Truro Cathedral," has the music of Bach, Messiaen, Franck, Howells and Mozart, and is available for $15 (plus shipping & handling) from Andrew Senn, 5037 Pine Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19143.
