- Private Vocal + Stagecraft Coaching+Masterclasses
Alexander has been privately teaching and giving educational courses and masterclasses to varying age groups and abilities for the last 20 years. He is a former graduate of the Royal Northern College of Music and a former Visiting Fellow of the University of Aberdeen. From introducing the public or local schools to opera and operetta with fun performance based workshops, to specialist masterclasses at top institutions, Alexander is experienced at teaching all age groups in both singing and stagecraft helping performers make the transition into their respective industries, whether it be opera, concert, musical theatre, rock or pop. Popular singing styles as well as stagecraft / drama techniques and interpretation (roles / monologues / song) are all considered in his teaching methods and are adapted to the student while always based on the bel canto principles, developing healthy vocalisation, whilst developing strength, flexibility and range. Previous students include opera singers, musical theatre singers and pop and rock artists under the Sony and Decca music labels.
Due to his own experience as a chorister at St Paul's Cathedral, London, Alexander has a specialised knowledge in the breaking voice and helps choristers whose parents wish to audition them in major choir schools. With a continuous 40 years professional singing experience, 20 years private teaching experience and having worked with voice specialists at St Bartholomew’s Hospital and on Harley Street, London for over 3 years, Alexander has additional knowledge of vocal issues that may need vocal rehabilitation. Maintenance, healthy vocal habits and awareness of the voice and body are all focussed areas.
Alexander also applies his knowledge of English and English repertoire to foreign singers, speakers and institutions most recently at the Gothenburg Opera, Sweden, and his stagecraft and stage fighting knowledge to institutions such as the Swedish National Ballet School, European Union Baroque Orchestra and Malmö Opera.
