Dennis Alexander: Since his affiliation as a composer and clinician with Alfred Publishing Company began in 1986, Dennis Alexander has earned an international reputation as one of North America's most prolific and popular composers of educational piano music for students at all levels. Mr. Alexander retired from his position at the University of Montana in May 1996, where he had taught piano and piano pedagogy for 24 years. He currently resides in Irvine, California, where he teaches privately while maintaining an active composing and touring schedule for Alfred Publishing Company.
Mr. Alexander is a native Kansan who graduated from the University of Kansas. In 1972 he joined the faculty at the University of Montana, where he served as piano department chair in addition to his teaching duties in applied piano, class piano and piano pedagogy. In 1987 he made his New York debut at Carnegie Recital Hall with violinist Walter Olivares and continues to be active as a soloist, accompanist and chamber musician. A former president of the Montana State Music Teachers Association, he is a popular clinician at state music teachers' conventions and has been a featured speaker at several national MTNA conventions. Mr. Alexander conducted his second tour of Asia in March 1995, where he performed recitals and workshops in Singapore, Hong Kong and Indonesia.
In January 1995 Alfred Publishing produced a video featuring Mr. Alexander, entitled Imagery in Piano Performance. Over the years, numerous organizations have commissioned him to write compositions, many of which are included in the National Federation of Music Clubs' Festival required list. Students throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, Asia and Europe currently enjoy his music.
