About Alexander
Training & Accolades:
I started piano and percussion lessons almost 20 years ago. Been playing both with on-and-off lessons ever since. Earned several music and band awards and scholarship.
Performance Experience:
Performed in multiple ensembles, some audition-only, through high school and college, including:
~New England Music Festival Association (NEMFA) Band
~All-Eastern Honors Band
~Connecticut Regional and All-State Bands
~4 years Marching Band as Pit percussionist (Pit section leader and Drum Major senior year)
~Original music composition competition
~Multiple school concert bands, symphonic orchestras, musical orchestra pits, and percussion ensemble
Why Me?
I treat the lessons as a personal endeavor. It will become my goal to have the student gain the knowledge, then the understanding, then be able to apply that understanding. It is a personal achievement when a student reaches that "aha" moment, where their understanding is unlocked. It's the joy of teaching for me, and pairing that with my joy of percussion is a combination that will make me invested in the student's success.
