Above all, Alex hopes to maintain a community with music, and while he hopes to major in vocal performance, cello will always hold a dear place in their heart. He hopes that he will be able to continue to play the instrument that has made them wonderful friends with the wonderful musicians in their life. Alex appreciates all the support he has been given from his parents and his sister, alongside the support of his private teachers, his school orchestra director Cynthia Clickner, his choir directors Jason Martin and Megan England, and above all his friends, which are the main reasons he auditioned for SLSYO in the first place.
