Alexander ’s use of contemporary songs to teach chord progressions and transitions made learning enjoyable for my middle school son. It was an engaging and valuable experience for him.

I live in Tradition and got a chance to learn guitar from Alexander his lessons were the highlight of my week. The teaching style is relaxed and friendly but still very structured. I appreciated the balance between learning songs I love and focusing on technique.

The sessions of Alexander go beyond simply teaching notes and chords. My son was able to write his very first original song using DAG progressions in Red Mountain Ranch thanks to his amazing way of song writing into each lesson.
