My Background
I’m a professional musician specialising in classical and jazz. I’m an experienced performer, having been guest soloist with Sheffield University Symphony Orchestra and principal flute and alto saxophone in multiple classical, jazz and show music ensembles. I am currently Principal 2nd Flute with Crosby Symphony Orchestra.
In 2019, I completed a Bachelor of Music degree at The University of Sheffield, where I specialised in performance. I have several years of teaching experience, working both one-to-one and with small groups and ensembles. I am currently the Visiting Woodwind Teacher at Merchant Taylors Schools in Crosby.
Over the years, I have studied under multiple orchestral musicians, including Sarah Bennett (The Hallé), Joshua Batty (Sydney Symphony Orchestra) and Helen Wilson (Royal Liverpool Philharmonic). I also studied under saxophonist Ellie Meredith, AKA ‘Ellie Sax’. I owe so much of my development as a musician and performer to my previous teachers and hope to share the knowledge, passion and techniques I acquired to inspire my own students in the same way.
My Qualifications
- University of Sheffield - Bachelor of Music (Hons)
- ABRSM - Flute - Grade 8 (Distinction)
- Saxophone - Grade 8 Standard
What My Students Say
Paul Heath
I have been really impressed with Alexandra. Patient, knowledgable and helpful. She recognises problems I didn’t even know I had…….and heaven knows I knew I had plenty!!!
I would definitely recommend her.
Clive Roberts
I have had the pleasure of working with Alexandra. An extremely hard-working, diligent individual with a sound ability. Alexandra has a strong ability to make me feel immediately at ease. She will go over and above to deliver a quality review of the session.
