Personal Statement

Hi, I'm Alex! I'm a freelance professional jazz musician and teacher living in New York City. I previously lived in New Orleans for 7 years where I worked as freelance professional jazz trumpet player specializing in traditional New Orleans style jazz. I currently maintain a busy schedule as a musician in both New York city and throughout the northeast.

I not only love to play music, but I also love teaching music! In New Orleans, I was an elementary band director at the Archdiocese Band ...

Reviews

My son?s trumpet playing is improving with his work with Alex!! He enjoys his lessons and is getting better!

It took my son, seconds to decide he wanted Alex as his trombone tutor. He?s very patient and makes lessons fun. During the pandemic, my son was frustrated with zoom band classes. He was very discouraged and did not pick up the trombone, outside of class time. Alex showed him techniques and approaches that would make him a better player. He now practices more often and is more confident with his skills.

My son just really has a great time with Alex. He really likes the way he learns through what feels like fun and games.

Alex is an awesome tutor I haven't played trumpet in 10 years and wanted to start again. We started with the basics and Alex was very thorough and patient with beginners (aka me). With only 3 lessons down I have learned most of the basic notes and have been able to make a clear and strong sound with the tips he has given me. If you are a beginner looking for a tutor I definitely recommend Alex hands down no doubt about it.

My son said that Alex was very engaging and kind. He really helped with his breath technique which is important for trumpet playing. He enjoyed his lesson so much that he wants a longer lesson!

From the moment Alex began working with our 13 year old son, we recognized how fortunate we are to have found him. Alex is a wonderfully kind, patient and knowledgeable instructor who has developed a great rapport with our son, meeting him just where he is - supporting and challenging him as needed. Our son loves practicing now and looks forward to his trumpet lessons each week. We'd give 10 stars if we could. Thank you so much, Alex!

Can?t say enough good things about working with Alex. My 9 year old just had three sessions with Alex, and we see a noticeable difference not just in terms of his sound but also his interest. Really appreciate how attentive and encourage Alex is throughout the lesson.
