Studying classical piano with Alexander in Central El Paso has been truly inspiring. his grand piano adds depth to every lesson, and as someone rediscovering music in college, I deeply value his guidance. he cultivates both technical precision and emotional depth, urging me to feel the music rather than just play it.
