After serving as a guest trumpet professor at Grand Valley State University in Michigan, Alex Wilson has been officially named its new trumpet teacher, beginning in the fall of 2017. Alex replaces his former teacher there, Richard Stolzel, who was appointed to the faculty at McGill University in 2015.
After receiving a BM in Performance at GVSU, Alex earned a MM at Arizona State University. He then played principal trumpet of a touring Chinese ballet orchestra for a year and a half, then returned to ASU to begin work on a DMA degree and serving as one of David Hickman's graduate teaching assistants. Alex is scheduled to complete his doctorate in May of this year.
Many people know of Alex through his stellar performances at the NTC, winning the solo competition of the graduate division with Carl Hoehne's "Slavische Fantasie." Congrats, Alex!! |
