Dr. Le’s Teaching Philosophy
Dr. Alexandria Le is a concert pianist, educator, and arts leader whose career bridges world-class performance with thoughtful piano pedagogy. She is deeply committed to providing an approachable, world-class musical education, whether someone desires to unlock their musical potential or as someone who wishes to deepen their appreciation for music.
Dr. Le offers a holistic approach to the piano. Her guidance in developing technical fluency and expressive depth with an emphasis on physical ease and musical artistry draws on professional performance experience, a strong background of Eastern European playing, and a nuanced understanding of healthy movement at the keyboard. Whether returning to the piano or pursuing advanced repertoire, students benefit from her thoughtful approach to building strength, control, and artistry—allowing freedom to express at the piano. As a former Carnegie Hall Teaching Artist and a current Nevada Arts Council Teaching Artist, her approach to music-making in her teaching aims to inspire.
The daughter of longtime Las Vegas piano teacher Michelle Le, Alexandria inherited a deep-rooted passion for teaching. Prior to opening her teaching studio in Las Vegas, Alexandria ran a leading piano studio in New York for a decade and served as a Carnegie Hall Teaching Fellow for 2 years. Dr. Le is an advocate of thoughtfully designed customized lesson plans based on each student’s unique skills and interests rather than a one-size-fits-all curriculum. Students who study with her achieve technical and musical fluency at the piano and build an appreciation of music that will last a lifetime.
Alexandria enjoys presenting at universities and music schools across North America. She is the co-founder and former director of the Las Vegas Academy Piano Institute, an intensive three-day festival hosted at the Grammy Award-winning Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, created specifically for its 80+ piano majors. She served on the executive board of the Las Vegas Music Teachers Association, where she was nominated to serve as president in recognition of her leadership and impact on the teaching community—a role she chose to decline in order to focus on major artistic and educational initiatives already underway. She has served on adjudication panels for the Music Teachers National Association, the Las Vegas Philharmonic, the Heart of Education Awards at The Smith Center, and Tarisio Grants, among others.
Trained under the rigorous Eastern European system, Alexandria developed a strong technical and musical foundation that continues to inform her teaching and artistry. Though known for its intensity, this method has consistently produced many of the most iconic pianists of the 20th century. Alexandria was deeply shaped by her pre-college teacher, Erna Gulabyan, a prominent pedagogue in the California Bay Area who studied at both the Yerevan and Moscow Conservatories. She continued studies with Douglas Humpherys at the Eastman School of Music, Christina Dahl at Stony Brook University, and received further mentorship and coaching from Gil Kalish. She is indebted to countless artists and teachers who have influenced her artistry throughout the decades.
Alexandria holds a Doctorate of Musical Arts and Masters degree in piano performance from SUNY Stony Brook and a Bachelor of Music from the Eastman School of Music. She is proud alumna of the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, where was inducted in their Hall of Fame.
She balances her teaching with concertizing and arts advocacy work. Read about her further work by clicking on each link.
