Musical Training
After showing early signs of musical promise was hastily assigned to a local music teacher and church organist, Mr. Albert H. Roberts, in Truro, Cornwall, to learn piano at the age of eight.
Continued with Mr. Roberts on organ from the age of 13, worked through the playing examinations of the Trinity College of Music, London, and eventually was awarded a major county award to study at the college full-time, for four years.
Piano and Organ at Trinity College of Music
There he was fortunate to be able
study piano with Leslie Chase and organ with the organist of Her
Majesty`s Chapel Royal and sub-organist of St. Paul`s Cathedral,
London, Harry Gabb. Highlights he particularly recalls include playing music
during services at St. Pauls Cathedral and occasional lessons at St. James`s Palace.
Qualifications Gained
While at Trinity College of Music
he was awarded a licenciate (LTCL) in organ playing, a Graduate
diploma (GTCL) for general and educational music and eventually a
Fellowship of the college in organ playing (FTCL), a special award
for which there is normally only one awarded per year per instrument (FTCL).
Current Relevance!
Despite these practical
professional qualifications, Alex no longer adds the letters after his
name, in the belief that, whatever your past achievements, in the
professional music business you are only as good as your last performance!
Popular Re-Styling
He has also modified his technique
and approach with many influences from pop to jazz since then so as
to be able to produce a programme to suit almost any audience.
As a pianist his aim is to provide stylish tuneful versions of a variety of popular tunes of films, musicals, popular ballads, light classical and jazz standards. Sounds to make your special occasion even more memorable, and at a reasonable cost.

Prices
I always charge very reasonable prices, my lowest only just outside the two-figure
range, with especially favourable rates for midweek engagements (except Bank
Holidays etc.)
If you are organising something with lots of features my fees are likely to be the least expensive feature by a wide margin!
