"Alex worked with me on a summer school aimed at supporting the transition from primary to secondary. Through his enormous talent and considerable experience he brought together a group of young people who did not know each other and who were at a particularly vulnerable point in their lives. Over the two weeks he nurtured them into a cohesive, driven musical troupe who were ready and able to perform in public. The fellow musicians and dancers that Alex was able to bring to the mix introduced a larger than life element to our time together. The relationships that those young people formed still hold strong today. Thank you."
Lynda Callaghan, B+A Consultant Secondary Strategy

"If you work in music education and you want to develop your skills in devising and leading a workshop, then look no further than Alex Wilson. The musicianship, presentation style and know-how are all first class."

"Alex Wilson has a natural instinct for music education work- he is a great role model and has a talent for drawing out the best in younger players- I would recommend him very highly. He is also an extremely nice guy and all-important- RELIABLE!!"
Ros Rigby. Performance Programme Director. The Sage Gateshead

"We had a wonderful evening on our Tommorrow's Musicians Today Launch event last Monday. The fabulous Alex Wilson, together with his wonderful colleagues Elpidio Caicedo and Roberto Pla set the scene with an introductory vibe on keys, bass, drums and vocals. They then took 60 young people age 9 to 19 through their rhythmic paces in two exciting and absorbing workshops! The final performance had students leading their own groups and the audience dancing on their feet!"
Jane Wheeler - Music Advisor for Newham Young people's and Children's services

"Obviously an expert in the field of Afro-Cuban music, Alex proved to be a great teacher also - friendly, a good communicator and able to put us all at ease.  There was a great sense of achievement at the end of Alex's workshop - to go from scratch band to a full blown salsa outfit within three hours is nothing short of a miracle!  Three hours from Alex was far too short. He's an excellent teacher with a good style. The band was so well in the groove at the end of the workshop that I was itching to go on for another three hours."
