Alexander - Get to know your vocal coach

I am a vocal/guitar/piano/ukulele teacher with more than 12 years of teaching experience. Over the years, I became one of the most sought-after instructors at my music school due to my ability to keep students engaged and having fun in their lessons while ensuring that they are being imparted with the necessary knowledge to advance their musical abilities.
Additionally, I graduated from the University of Calgary with a Bachelor of Communications and Culture in 2014. I also completed the New Media Production Design and Audio diploma from SAIT in 2013 as well as Digital Audio Certificate of Achievement. I am also the founder of a music project who have earned 5 Music Award nominations and have opened for major musical acts. My music has been played on various radio stations. Let's hit those high notes together and unlock your full musical potential.

The session served as a casual catch-up, covering personal travel experiences to Hawaii, including observations on the local impact of natural disasters and economic disparities. The conversation then transitioned to shared interests in music, concert experiences, and discussions about musical genres and bands, before concluding with reflections on time perception and platform-related administrative matters. No specific academic topics were covered or practiced, and no follow-up academic activities were assigned.
