With a foundation in European conservatory training and ongoing studies in the United States, I approach both teaching and performance as deeply interconnected disciplines rooted in perseverance, empathy, and authenticity. Having completed the second level of the Romanian Pedagogy Modules, which qualify graduate students to teach at both pre-college and college levels, my pedagogy is guided by the example of my outstanding mentors: Angela Pascu, Daniel Goiti, Stefan Arnold, and Boris Slutsky. My approach views virtuosity as a powerful tool: never an end in itself, but a means to facilitate meaningful and honest expression. My experience as a soloist, chamber musician, accompanist, improviser, and conductor gives me a multifaceted approach to music and education. Aside from refining their understanding of those innermost, intuitive aspects of musical architecture, I aim to encourage students of all ages to engage critically with the score, develop informed interpretations, and cultivate artistic independence. By fostering resilience, intellectual curiosity, and self-awareness, I prepare my students not only for the demands of the profession but also for a lifelong, sustainable relationship with their art, grounded in purpose, reflection, and an unwavering respect for the power of music to connect across barriers.

"Alex has helped me to pick up right where I left off in my piano playing and challenged me to more difficult pieces! I learned Fur Elise off of a previous lesson book but it was more of a simpler version. Alex saw that I liked it a lot and showed me the real version with these sections that are hard but fun!! I’m glad I am able to continue my lessons with him.

I've been playing golf since I was 14, inspired by my great uncle, who was Arnold Palmer’s high school golf coach and remained friends with him throughout their lives.

During college, I gave lessons to faculty and friends and participated in various amateur events, even though I didn’t compete for my college team.
