About Alex
I am a Brooklyn-based jazz guitarist and have worked with Big Gigantic, Veronica Swift, and The Colorado Symphony, as well as performances at the Kennedy Center and NPR’s Tiny Desk series. I have a degree in Jazz Guitar with an emphasis in Classical Guitar from the University of Colorado Boulder.
I served as a guest artist in the guitar department at Denver School of the Arts for 5 years. I helped with one on one coaching, masterclasses for middle and high schoolers on a myriad of topics, taught lessons focusing on Classical, Jazz, and Pop styles, as well as writing arrangements and transcribing for student groups.
I have also taught regularly at Kent Denver, Dawson School, and as a guest clinician at both CU Boulder and the University of Wyoming. Additionally, I have been part of the faculty at the Colorado Conservatory for the Jazz Arts, working with adult and youth combos. I have curated and taught group Jazz Guitar classes for The Gift of Jazz. With the Denver Municipal Band, I worked with bands and students at schools across the Denver Metro area. I hold a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Colorado Boulder.

About the lesson
- All Levels

All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
I provide lessons in Rock, Classical, Jazz, and Pop styles, as well as writing arrangements and transcribing for students.
I have worked with many students of many levels and ages. My teaching style focuses on learning songs. While theory and music reading are important if you want to learn them, I find that having a musical context for them rather than a series of non musical exercises gives a student a better experience and gets them performing faster. I will show you how to learn. I don't just want to give you the answers, I want to help you find them yourself.

Alex is a very patient teacher who is really invested in the actual growth of skills. He is extremely knowledgeable not only about music theory and exercises, but across genres and professional experiences. Whether you want to become a professional yourself or just learn how to riff with your friends, Alex is the guy.
Alex was a very effective teacher for my two children. He not only led them through a structured educational program but he inspired a love of the instrument and music in general. I heartily recommend Alex as a private guitar instructor.
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.View more recommendations
