I have lead others and taught them before ever having my own classroom as a leader in High School and College. It has greatly pleased me that my students have had many accomplishments in many groups. These vary from various Honors Bands, the Atlanta Youth Symphony Orchestra, and many High Valued Scholarships. I ecourage regular practice for all my students to review and refine their musicianship overall. I am always looking for new and exciting opportunities to teach those who are interested. Currently I am working in Clayton County Schools as the Director of Bands at Forest Park Middle School. Our group has been rated Excellent and Superior over since I have taken over.

I have the most Experience using the following Method Books: Standard of Excellence, Essential Elements, Accent on Achievement, Instrumental Methods and many other methods. Initially (and throughout) I place a high value on performance fundamentals. I start with a focus on proper posture and breathing. Once this can be executed I breakdown the nomenclature of the student's instrument, how to put it together and break it down. Next the focus becomes proper grip for mallets/sticks and embouchure placement for winds. Students then begin to develop a proper "buzz" and "coo" and "roll" for their selected instrument as they work on basic notes for some time. Eventually this playing short 3 note songs and then 5 note songs etc. Progress for mastery is constantly checked. 

  In my classroom transdisciplinary is innate to my teach style.  I teach all skills in my class using many methods including but, not limited to the following: Clapping, singing, stomping, writing, modeling, syllables (math), one-on-one  Beginning players usually start with a short Assessment of their knowledge of music. We will spend a lot of time thorughout their experience on Tone, Intonation, Technique, Range, and Style using various styles.    Experienced players usually start with a short Assessment of their knowledge of music. A high focus of our Studio time will be spent developing Music/Solos etc. they are already preparing for Honors groups, High School and College. We will spend a lot of time thorughout their experience on Tone, Intonation, Technique, Range, and Style using various styles.

Alex is a born teacher. He sees instantly where you are and builds you up from there. Always encouraging and helpful, his pointers are game-changers. 

Alex is EXCELLENT. My learning is going forward rapidly. 

Alex is an excellent teacher! He determines where the student is very quickly and builds confidence and somehow knows just the right amount to give. Perfect. 

Alex is great. He is encouraging and has really good tips and works with where you are without pushing. I got a lot out of our lesson today.

Alex has been a great instructor. Very clear and easy to understand and my son is very engaged.

Alex is a top-notch instructor. After the very first lesson I saw improvement with tone production and overall comfort with my instrument. I am an adult student and Alex does great with his flexibility of teaching styles. I am going on to my sixth lesson with Alex and feeling more and more confident with my progress. It is evident the wealth of knowledge that Alex possesses, along with the awareness to position this vault of awesomeness in a way I can receive and implement his instructions pretty much instantaneously. I honestly can tell I will be a long term student. 🎷🎷🎷🎷🎷

Alex L. has been teaching my nephew percussion and how to read music since July of this year.  It's remarkable how much my nephew has improved since his music classes have started.  His band teacher is already talking to him about playing the Tenor Drum next season to replace a graduating senior.  Alex is patient, understanding and encourages excellence.  Just what our teenager needed.  Thank You Alex!  You Rock!

It was good to catch up helped me get ahead of my band and to focus on my goals for music!

Alex is very patient and is a great communicator.  I am excited for my nephew.  We think Alex will be a great teacher and mentor for our 14 year old and are glad we found him.  Yeaaaaaaa!

Alex is very patient with my son. He is starting to show much improvement and happy about moving forward.

My son had his first trumpet lesson with Alex the day after Christmas. Alex worked well with my son and was patient. He gave us good advice and encouragement. I would definitely recommend Alex to anyone needing lessons.

Much appreciate his willingness to repeat himself.

Great teacher and very knowledgable. Great techniques and encouragement.

Willing to spend extra time to help me get started and was flexible with his schedule.

The best he was so nice i recommend him to others.
