Take Private Music Recording Lessons

About Me

Music is therapeutic to my soul and essential to my everyday existence. Absorbed by it, I dedicate most of my energy toward creating, writing, and playing music. I am here to help you to do the same. I am fortunate and grateful to have worked with many of the world's most amazing and creative performers, artists, composers, and producers.  Because of this, I've learned to appreciate a diverse range of musical genres, while showing no bias toward any one musical form. After all, at the end of a piece of music, it's the listerner's personal feeling that will truly reflect their opinion.

Alex started his formal music education in the fourth grade where he first played trumpet in elementary school. After dabbliing with the piano and drums, he finally settled on bass just before his 20th birthday, while attending the University of New Hampshire. In less than two years, he earned a spot on the bass chair for the UNH Orchestra.

After graduating in 2000 from UNH...

About Me

Learn what only personalized instruction from an attentive teacher can provide.

About Me

STUDYING WITH ME:

Learning guitar should be interesting and fun! I approach each student as an individual and structure their lessons according to what I determine they need, as well as what they are interested in musically. I concentrate on many different areas; ear training, theory, playing technique, improvisation, various styles of music, and, the physics of the guitar. Understanding how the instrument works is important in my opinion. My long term goal is to teach a student how they can teach themselves down the line. Understanding why you’re playing something is just important as knowing how to play it. I aim to give a student rich and well rounded one-on-one time!

GENERAL BIOGRAPHY:

About Me

I began playing guitar in August of 2001. By August of 2003 I was teaching. I love being able to impart to others the gift of music that has been so influential in my life. Music has changed my life and I want to be a part of changing other people's lives as well. I make my living through music. I have had the experience of playing and writing for my original band, recording albums, being a studio musician, a touring musician, teaching, and producing. I've played for National acts like Big Kenny of Big and Rich as well as You Tube phenomenon Tyler Ward. I've taught beginners to those more advanced. I consider myself a student and that helps me be a better teacher.

I have over 7 years of teaching experience, most of which has been private instruction. I spend time learning what each individual wants and needs. I feel blessed to be able to do music with my life. Teaching is an important part of that.

About Me

I've been teaching music for about as long as I've been playing it and I love teaching music the same way it was passed down to me! My explosive passion for music and life is contagious amongst my students and I love nothing more than sharing what I know.

As a professional saxophone player, I've toured the world playing as both a solo artist and part of a band in many genres including Jazz, Funk, Classical, Rock, and Jam Band. Some people I've played with have included Doug Wamble, the Codetalkers, Blueground Undergrass, the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra, and Donna the Buffalo. I've also been part of major label recordings including most recently Doug Wamble's new record for E1 Music. I love all styles of jazz but I'm definitely not a strict jazz-head and you're as likely to see me at a bluegrass or rock concert as you are a jazz club.

My main instrument is saxophone (soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone) but I am also comfortable teaching piano, flute, clarinet, music...
