A native of Northern Virginia, Alejandro Galdo is currently earning his Masters of Music degree at the Boston University College of Fine Arts, where he studies with Pavel Nersessian. Before arriving in Boston, he received his Bachelor’s of Music degree with honors from Ithaca College, studying under Dmitri Novgorodsky, where he worked as a collaborative pianist playing for vocalists, instrumentalists, as well as for ensembles including the Ithaca College Wind Symphony and Wind Ensemble.

While Alejandro especially enjoys getting complete beginners of any age started at the piano, his extensive teaching background makes him just as comfortable and eager to work with advanced pianists looking to expand their repertoire or finetune their musicality and technique. In lessons, Alejandro reinforces music theory knowledge for students by helping them study classical repertoire but also openly encourages any student to pursue their interests in any genres from pop to jazz. Lastly, Alejandro feels that the most important thing to him as a teacher is to keep lessons fun, engaging, and to ensure that each student can learn to love their piano playing journey. He makes sure to go above and beyond to meet the needs and pace of every student – always putting in extra time and attention to make sure his students exceed their own expectations.

Alejandro has performed solo recitals, piano duo recitals, and in chamber music concerts around the United States as well as abroad. Most recently, his performances have included masterclasses with Charles Richard-Hamelin and Grammy-award winning pianist Garrick Ohlsson as well as a public concert in Salzburg, Germany at the Sulzbach-Rosenberg International Music Festival. Alejandro’s teaching experience began in high school at the Summer Sonatina International Piano Camp before formally studying piano pedagogy at Ithaca College under Dr. Laura Amoriello. Before teaching at Page Music Lessons, Alejandro was a private piano instructor at the Moon School of Music in Fairfax, Virginia.
