music education and workshops
Helping others discover their own voice as musicians has become one of the most meaningful extensions of Alexandra's career as a performer. Whether guiding a student through a technical breakthrough, exploring new approaches to musical interpretation, or building confidence in performance, she believes that meaningful music education begins with curiosity, intention, and connection.
Since 2018, Alexandra has taught private voice lessons in both studio and independent settings. She currently serves as a part-time music teacher at Cardinal O'Hara High School and as an Education Concert Host with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, introducing orchestral music to students in grades 5–8. In addition, she presents masterclasses, workshops, and clinics for middle schools, high schools, colleges, and community ensembles throughout Western New York.
Drawing from more than a decade of experience as a vocalist, composer, educator, and collaborator, Alexandra's teaching reflects the many disciplines that have shaped her artistic life. Her teaching philosophy is also informed by her work as a certified yoga teacher, emphasizing breath awareness, embodied musicianship, expressive communication, artistic curiosity, and intentional practice. She encourages students to make thoughtful musical choices while developing confidence, presence, and a deeper connection to their craft.
Each workshop is collaborative and tailored to the goals of the students and organization, creating an engaging learning experience that meets musicians where they are. Topics may include:
-
Vocal masterclasses
-
Ensemble coaching (vocal or instrumental)
-
Musical interpretation and expressive performance
-
Improvisation and creative musicianship
-
Healthy vocal technique and performance preparation
-
Building a sustainable and fulfilling career in music
Whether working one-on-one with a student or leading a full ensemble, Alexandra strives to create an environment where musicians feel supported, challenged, and inspired to take artistic risks. Her goal is for every participant to leave with practical tools they can immediately apply, a deeper understanding of their craft, and the confidence to approach music with greater curiosity, intention, and purpose.
