Teacher Profile

2025 UPDATE: Unfortunately, I am unable to take instrumental students at this time. My sincerest apologies to all who have submitted enquiries. I will update this page as soon as my circumstances change. I am still taking students for online tuition (theory, aural, musical contexts,) and in-person coaching sessions (performance anxiety, auditions, peak performance skills.)

Violin tutor with experience teaching individual/group lessons, classes and ensembles in schools, workshops/masterclass, and private studio. Alexandra’s PhD research explores the ethics of care in music learning and performance spaces, music performance anxiety, immersion, inclusion and access, and equity. She currently teaches undergraduate courses in music theory and aural studies; performance anxiety management; and musician’s health & wellbeing. As an artist-researcher, she has attended artist-residencies and performed new collaborative works in Australia and Norway.
