"Alex is a phenomenal teacher. He is able to take his complex understanding of music and translate it into an approach that helped our son improve and also inspired a deep love of music.
Alex helped our son build confidence in performing multiple genres of music, and encouraged him to rise up as a leader in his school’s jazz and rock bands."
