He is very encouraging and I find him very clear in his explanations of the material being covered. He uses great analogies and hands on techniques to make the material stick and be enjoyable. Absolutely amazing teacher.

Comment:
Alex is an entertaining, engaging, and funny guy who has the ability to make the whole class smile when they show up. I feel he could have broadened the spectrum of his material a bit, but I immensely enjoyed his course and would readily recommend him to anyone.

Alex is a great guy. He made the advanced keyboarding classes enjoyable thanks to the incorporation of interesting, yet fun assignments into the course.

Comment:
music and spirituality is a subjective topic. one would assume that the topic would be introduced from many traditional approaches. i.e. historical, anthropolgical, etc. but no, alex didn't do that. he didn't even assign reading. our assignments didn't require real research. the final assignment was given the last week of class.

I think Alex is a great guy, although so energetic in the morning it can be hard to take, haha. Some people complain about the way he grades, but from what I understand, he grades you on improvement, not on how well you play compared to other people. I think he's funny and very entertaining, even if he can be real punny :P

umm.... Alex teaches like he's in a broadway music.... a broadway musical with an unclear plot and cheesy music. If u like "one liners," PUNS, and "getting his wife in the mood" with your music... this is the class for u

He's...nice? Not very great at teaching. His humour is more like he's teaching grade two's. Quite unamused I must say.

males and females are graded differently; you could hear students playing tests, those that were better did not necessarily get graded fairly;would sometimes fail a student but give another one many chances to pass; hint; thinks guys are more capable.
