About the instructor: Alex Strenta began learning music theory in his early teens at Dartmouth College’s Jazzology summer program. As a high school junior, he took his first academic course in music theory at Dartmouth College, before attending Dickinson College, where he received his undergraduate degree in Music Composition in 2014. While at Dickinson, he was a Teaching Assistant for two years for all levels of music theory, was part of a master class from Pulitzer Prize winning composer Caroline Shaw, and over the summers, performed on stage with Richie Cannata (former saxophonist for Billy Joel) at the famed Bitter End in NYC. He has taught private lessons on trumpet (though he no longer plays) and takes individual pupils for individual study.
