Alexandra Jones is currently a sophomore at New York University studying in Marion Feldman's studio. She started cello with a local community program in her hometown of Brainerd, Minnesota.  In high school, she began traveling to Minneapolis to study with Joshua Koestenbaum, Assistant Principal of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra. Through high school, she was an avid member of the All-State Orchestra and Minnesota Youth Symphony, sitting principal in both orchestras. Her summer work includes the Stringwood Festival in 2003 and 2004, and Birchcreek Performance Center in 2005. In 2006, she attended the Bowdoin International Music Festival to study with Peter Howard.

Alexandra came to NYU to continue her academic endeavors while challenging herself to study cello with the vigor that New York City demands.  The balance has proved difficult yet rewarding, as she earned a spot on the Dean's List every semester thus far as well as an invitation to be featured in the Saklad Chamber Music Series; she was also principal cellist of the NYU Repertory Orchestra.

Slowly narrowing in on her niche as a cellist, Alexandra challenges herself to absorb the advantageous opportunities of New York's culture. In addition to the classical side of her education, she enjoys recording film scores for Steinhardt's Film Scoring program as well as working for the Musical Theater department. She has taken up performances and album recordings for the Grayson Sanders Band and upcoming artist Ben Lear. For the past three years she has taught private lessons to over twelve young students.
