Hi Born in Paris, I started studying piano at age 8, I am now a woodwind player. I work with great artists in New York (Joe Lovano, George Garzone...) and I take very seriously the responsability to teach this art form. I have graduated from the National School of Music of Evry (France) and from Berklee College of Music (Boston MA). Hence I have gathered a lot of information and teaching skills. Wether we study improvisation (any instrument), saxophone, theory, or composition, I can notice what you need and give you specific techniques to improve your creativity. Music is a blessing and a beautiful journey, I'll be glad to show you the path! More music and videos at http://www.myspace.com/alexterrier or http://www.weelbe.com/alexterrier

• composition (music)

  I have been composing for 15 years. When I began by myself I used my mother's paintings as source of inspiration. Since then I have studied major composers (Beethove, Mozart, Bach, Stravinsky, Schoenberg...) and jazz composers/arrangers (Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane...) I have graduated from the National School of Evry (France) and from the Berklee College of Music. In both school I've had to wrtie music extensively. I write for small bands, full band, and many different settings. I have been comissioned by the University of Houston a piece in 2006, and I am commissioned by the French and Geman ambassies in New York a piece for May 2008 to celebrate American and European music.
