After studying classical guitar, piano, jazz guitar and composition at the world-renowned Chetham’s School of Music for seven years, Alexandra Whittingham now studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Having picked up the guitar when she was just five years old, Alexandra’s father taught her the basics of the instrument before she went on to begin private lessons.
Venues in which Alexandra has played include Leeds College of Music (as part of Leeds International Concert Season), The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, The Yehudi Menuhin School and West Dene International Guitar Festival (as part of the National Youth Guitar Ensemble) and the British Embassy in Paris, where she performed to an invited audience of diplomats in February, 2015. Later that year, she was also invited to perform Castelnuovo Tedesco’s Concerto No.1 with the Gorton Philharmonic Orhestra.
