MEET ALEXEI
Musician.
Educator.
Creative guide.
I’m Alexei , a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and music educator helping musicians develop their craft, creativity and confidence.
My approach brings together years of teaching, performing, writing and recording helping musicians understand their instrument while developing their own ideas, sound and direction.
MUSIC HAS ALWAYS BEEN BOTH CRAFT AND CURIOSITY
I’ve spent years learning what helps music.cians actually grow
My own path has moved between performing, songwriting, recording, teaching and creative development.
I graduated with a First Class BA in Contemporary & Popular Music and later completed an MA in Creative Arts Practice, but a huge amount of what I’ve learned has come from doing the work — writing original music, performing, collaborating, recording and teaching thousands of hours of lessons.
That combination shapes the way I teach today.
I care about technique and understanding your instrument, but I’m equally interested in what happens when you start experimenting, trusting your ideas and developing your own musical identity.
Good music education should give you more tools, not make you sound like everybody else.
