Alexandra Saraceno

As a piano instructor, Alexandra advocates for a holistic course of study integrating aural skills, technical facility, theoretical analysis, and historical knowledge while incorporating repertoire spanning the classical canon to contemporary composers, within and beyond the Western European tradition. Alexandra has cultivated this comprehensive approach through her work at the Center for Creative Youth at Wesleyan University, the School of Visual and Performing Arts at WCSU, and the Steinhardt School at NYU. In addition to her private studio, Alexandra also teaches at the Greenwich House Music School.
