My Mission

My goal at Southside Beat is to instill a love for music in my students and provide them with the skills necessary to become life long musicians and learners. Music means so much more than simply performing, it is a way to connect with yourself and others. Here at Southside, I constantly seek growth for my students both musically and personally.

the Studio

The learning-centered percussion studio is equipped with a multitude of instruments. Ranging from beginner to concert grade equipment, the studio is designed to encourage musicians of all levels to grow.

Alex always makes learning fun. He is so encouraging and bases the lesson plan on what you want to learn. He consistently knows what he is doing and he knows what is right for you.
