About Alex

I am a pianist, keyboardist, and composer based in London, performing and recording across a range of genres, primarily jazz and improvised music. In addition to my career as a music and piano teacher, I have performed across the UK and Europe as a bandleader and ensemble member, at venues including Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, The Vortex Jazz Club, 606 Jazz Club, Love Supreme Festival, London Jazz Festival, Jazzkaar Festival Estonia, La Petite Halle Paris, Brick Lane Jazz Festival and many more.

Since meeting award-winning choreographer Mthuthuzeli November in 2022, I have written several works for the stage and contributed recorded and composed material for production soundtracks. Notable pieces include my orchestral score for For What It's Worth (Royal Opera House, Royal Ballet, premiering February 2024), Water Me for string quartet and percussion (Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe, Spring 2024), and recorded piano for NINA: By Whatever Means (Barbican Theatre, Linbury Theatre ROH, Ballet Black).

I studied music at Oxford University (2016-19) where he performed widely in classical and jazz contexts and was invited to perform in masterclasses with Yo Yo Ma, Steven Isserlis, and the Villiers Quartet.

I went on to study a performance MA at the Royal Academy of Music (2020-22). While at the Academy, I was awarded the Scott Philbrick Jazz Prize for outstanding postgraduate performance, Universal Music UK Sound Foundation sponsorship and the Countess of Munster Postgraduate Award.

I currently teach at a London prep school as a Visiting Music teacher and as a course tutor at St. John's College, Oxford.

About the lesson

I have a very open attitude towards teaching and prioritise student enjoyment above all else! Only by enjoying the process of learning an instrument can anyone hope to make progress. As a result, I have always been very happy to have students bring music of their own choice to lessons, and rarely do I dictate what music someone should be looking at. I look to give technical guidance through whatever music is at hand, and similarly encourage students to explore particular theoretical or contextual ideas in their music as a complement to the process of learning the notes.
