While at Stetson, he was awarded “Most Outstanding Junior Recital” award, was inducted into Pi Kappa Lambda Honor Music Society, and joined Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia National Music Fraternity. He graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2019 with a degree in Music Performance on clarinet.

    He is a member of Southern Winds, a community band in DeLand, Florida which is run by the Director of Bands at Stetson University.

    Alexander has taught at Stetson’s Clarinet Clinic, was a music theory tutor at Stetson University, and has taught middle and high school students woodwinds.

    Alexander’s teaching method comes from synthesizing various techniques into practice. He believes that the synthesis of information helps students retain what is taught easier. He incorporates this through movement, visualization, ear training, and music theory.
