Piano with Alexandra R.

Hello! My name is Alexandra Rhoads. I have been teaching music lessons (piano, guitar, ukulele) for over 18 years. I earned my Master’s in Education from George Mason University in 2012 and have taught full-time as a special education teacher at the elementary and high school levels. I have been a performing musician and songwriter in the Northern Virginia area both with a band (Spectra) and as a solo artist for over 15 years. I've released two studio albums entitled “Room to Breathe” (2007) and “All This Time” (2016) in which I performed all vocal, guitar, and piano tracks, and received a Silver award in the Rock category of the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest in 2016. Additionally, I have been nominated for 3 Washington Area Music Awards. I have a background in classical, rock, pop, and blues styles on both piano and guitar. My goals in teaching are to broaden my students’ knowledge of music, help them reach their full potential, and allow them to learn music that they are excited about. I am passionate about sharing my love of music with my students!
