TESTIMONIALS

  • "My daughter is loving the guitar and is now in a band. Thank you for inspiring her from the beginning!"

  • "We feel so lucky to have had Alexis as a teacher for our kids since 2019. She has encouraged them to develop their skills via music that they love and enjoy, while still sneaking in classical music instruction. (It's a bit like sneaking vegetables into a toddler's dinner...Just ask Alexis how to teach classical piano via piano arrangements of video game music!)"

  • "When my then-10-year-old expressed interest in transposition, Alexis took that spark and ran with it - now he understands a significant amount of music theory. My younger child spent a summer noodling around composing her own tunes, and Alexis helped her to translate that into sheet music. It's been wonderful to watch both kids grow and learn under her guidance, even when we switched to virtual lessons."

  • "Thank you so much for supporting my baby. She loves singing!"
