4 reviews on Alex
Perfect! Patient. Funny. Very very competent. Loved my first lesson. Can't wait for the next one. Maria.
Perfect! Wonderful bass teacher with a lot of talent
Perfect! I had doubts about my technique so Alex showed me several ways how to improve that and also gave me an advice on how to approach ear training. I was little nervous but the atmosphere was very friendly and chilled, it was an hour well spent and now I know which direction to take to improve my playing! I was even given papers with tips on how to play at home. I wouldn´t hesitate to recommend Alex to anyone.
Perfect! My daughter left Alex's lesson inspired and energised.
