Alexandra’s Music Studio

Introduction: Alexandra is an avid performer and instructor in the D.C. metropolitan area. Alexandra will begin studying for a Master of Music Performance at the University of Maryland, College Park, a highly competitive program. Alexandra also attended the University of Maryland, College Park and earned her bachelors degree in Music and Spanish Language. She was the children's choir director at the National Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C., and has performed extensively as a soloist and chorus member in various prestigious theaters, including the Kennedy Center, Baltimore Lyric Opera House, the Key Theatre and with companies such as the Maryland Opera Studio, the National Symphony Orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, and the UMD Symphony Orchestra. As a music teacher, I believe that every student has a the ability to grow and to succeed as a musician. It is my responsibility to help them develop their creative talents. I do all that I can to bring out the best in my student. Learning an instrument can be challenging. I like to create a safe environment so that the student can be comfortable enough to ask questions, try their own ideas, and look inside themselves to find their expression and create their art. I believe the ability to express yourself is the main purpose of making music. I take a wholistic approach on learning an instrument; I am trained in the Alexander Technique, which teaches awareness and consciousness of the body while making music. This helps improve the musicians' focus, and also helps the musician eliminate tension or pain in the body.
