When it comes to teaching style, Mr. Alben focuses on building a strong technical and theoretical basis, providing the student with a road map to navigate the greater world of music. He believes in providing the tools necessary in order to facilitate the exploration in their own musical language. Therefore, though the technical and theoretical foundation is rooted in the Western Classical traditions, he encourages the exploration in other musical traditions and genres (including popular ones), especially if the student has a desire to do so.

My style of teaching revolves around a solid foundation in technique and proper ways to practice. This is the hardest part about having music lessons, because its all about muscle memory.

I began my teaching experience in the Bronx, where I created a music program in a very large public elementary school. In additon to a full schedule of general music classes, I directed over 200 assembly programs involving students from Kindergarten through 4th grade. I also developed an after-school Chorus program, putting on Winter and Spring concerts, as well as several Broadway musicals. In 2001 I transferred to Mount Vernon, where I was able to continue and expand my program, incorporating concert band and all-grade musical performances for students from Pre-K to 6th grade.

I have an incredible passion for music and I believe that I pass that passion along to my students, helping them also develop a love for the technique and nuances that music contains. I was born in England and came to America to complete my Masters degree in Music at the age of 21. I have been teaching both in England and America collectively for 7 years and feel extremely confident in meeting the needs of every student I meet. Read More
