Teaching Biography
Alexandria is deeply committed to providing a world-class musical education, whether someone desires to be a competition-winning pianist or as someone who wishes to deepen their appreciation for music.
She takes great pride in thoughtfully designing customized lesson plans based on each student’s unique skills and talents, interests, and long-term goals. The result is not only technical and musical fluency at the piano, but providing a broad appreciation of music that will last a lifetime. She also leads the piano pedagogy program at the University of Nevada–Las Vegas (UNLV), where she trains the next generation of piano teachers—both undergraduate and graduate pianists—in the art, science, and heart of great teaching.
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. She taught private students ranging from 4 to 86 years young; some were the children of NYC’s top musicians as well as adult learners including architects, doctors, and retired scientists. Her students would at times follow in her footsteps: her 10-year old student performed at Carnegie Hall after placing first at an international piano competition.
Alexandria is also frequently invited as a guest clinician and presenter 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.
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. A proud alumna of the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, she was an inaugural inductee in their Hall of Fame.
