About

Alex Wiederock is a composer, audio engineer, and classical pianist born in Maryland and raised around the world.

Alex is a composer and multi-instrumentalist who started playing the piano at the age of 3 and later learned to play alto and baritone saxophone, guitar, and bass. Despite being trained in classical music, Alex has a love for all genres, and both plays and writes music in styles like rock, indie, jazz, and more.

Currently, he works as a Music Instructor at School of Rock Chatham and as a Teaching Assistant for History of European Music at Stevens Institute of Technology.

Alex graduated with honors from Stevens Institute of Technology in 2021 with a Bachelor of Arts in Music and Technology, and went on to graduate with a Master’s in Scoring for Film, Television, and Video Games from Berklee College of Music in Valencia, Spain. As a student at Berklee Valencia, he had the opportunity to record his music with both small and large ensembles, including the Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana, the Budapest Art Orchestra, and the incredible musicians at AIR Studios London.

In 2014, Alex was selected to play bari sax at the DoDEA-Europe Honors Music Festival in Oberwesel, Germany, and in 2016, he performed with the Canberra College Jazz Band at the 36th Merimbula Jazz Festival in Merimbula, Australia. While in Australia, he also received ABRSM Grade 8 Piano and Grade 5 Music Theory certifications with merit.

Having lived in Turkey, Jordan, England, Australia, Spain, and the U.S., from a young age Alex was exposed to a huge variety of musical styles and had the opportunity to work with many talented educators, performers, composers, and professionals around the world. As a traveler (18 countries and counting!) he has acquired an interest in languages, and over the years has studied Greek, Japanese, Spanish, Turkish, and German to varying levels of fluency with the goal of becoming a polyglot.
