About

Alex began violin training at age five in 1977 with Master Suzuki Teacher, Margery V. Aber, in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

Alex usually doesn't charge extra for learning new songs.

Alex brings a small speaker for accompaniment music. The speaker is battery powered but a power outlet is helpful to keep it charged during long periods of time.

When booking weddings, please state which part of the wedding you would like him to perform. Typically, wedding parts with music include the prelude, seating of the family, processional, unity candle, recessional, reception, and dinner. This is important so you don't get charged for time between songs.
