About

Kia ora! I'm a freelance sound designer, audio engineer, and music teacher based in Auckland.

I currently work as a sound designer at Spellbound Studios, where I create audio for games using Unreal Engine 5 and MetaSounds. Alongside that, I teach guitar, piano, bass, and music production to students across Australia and New Zealand.

My work tends toward the cinematic and atmospheric, whether that's a sweeping game score or a carefully crafted mix. I'm comfortable across a wide range of genres including jazz, rock, electronic, hip-hop, and alternative.

I'm a passionate game audio nerd at heart, and I love the challenge of building immersive, interactive soundscapes that bring game worlds to life.

What Students & Families Say

My son had piano lessons with Alex for a short period while his regular teacher was away. Alex is a kind and patient teacher who takes time to explain all aspects of a piece of music. My son thrived in Alex's peaceful studio and developed a wonderful confidence in his playing. I highly recommend him as a teacher. Thank you Alex!

Katie W.

Great teacher, knows lots of song genres which means I can learn about close to anything. Alex is nice, calm and supportive.

Emrys P.

Alex is a great music teacher. Always listened to what my boys wanted to learn and taught them in a really calm and supportive way. I would recommend Alex to anyone who would like to learn or enhance their abilities playing a musical instrument.

Colette M.

Alex is a great piano teacher. We have been using his services for about 3 years now and we are very happy with his service. Alex is patient, kind and calm, and my son really enjoys learning the piano with Alex. I would definitely recommend Alex to anyone who is considering contacting him for music lessons.

Fiona O.

Lessons were easy as Alex was able to teach at my home. He is easy to communicate with and flexible in his schedule. My daughter was able to explore music she was interested in which kept her motivated to play and practice between lessons. My daughter says he is a really good teacher because he explains things really well and is patient and kind.

Lucinda J.

Alex has been a great piano teacher for both my kids. He is always so accommodating and professional at the same time being approachable and relating well to them. He is great at matching his teaching to their level and working in with what they are currently interested in. A great all-around teacher.
