Alexandra Lewis
Alexandra Lewis, lecturer, is an alumna of the Brooklyn College music program and has been a member of the Conservatory of Music faculty (as a graduate fellow, an adjunct and a substitute) since 1994, teaching music history, ear training, keyboard workshop, piano and Introduction to Music as well as coaching chamber music ensembles. Lewis began her formal musical training as a piano performance major at Brooklyn College, where she studied with Agustin Anievas. She later earned an M.A. from Hunter College (CUNY) before completing a Ph.D. in musicology at the CUNY Graduate Center. Her dissertation, "Evocations of Water at the Piano: From Schubert to Liszt and Ravel" (2005), marries her continued passion for the piano with her interest in 19th- and early-20th-century music.
As a performer, she has appeared in recital at Steinway Hall and Klavierhaus, both in New York. She has maintained an active piano studio at the Packer Collegiate Institute in Brooklyn Heights. Lewis has taught at SUNY New Paltz and, from 1993 to 2006, was a member of the music faculty at Hunter College (CUNY). She also holds a bachelor's degree in English literature.
