Alex Cooke

About

I have over 10 years of experience in music education, research, and composition, with a passion for exploring the connections between music, physics, and math. As Theory Faculty, Director of Electronic Music, and Head of Core Curriculum Division at the Cleveland Institute of Music, I lead the development and delivery of courses that cover music theory, science of music, electronic music, composition, and general education for musicians. I also have extensive experience in music production, performance, and journalism, having worked as the Electronic Instruments Technician at The Cleveland Orchestra, Dance Faculty at Case Western Reserve University, and Editor in Chief at Fstoppers, a popular online platform for photographers and videographers. In addition, I am a composer and songwriter, with multiple works published and performed nationally and internationally. My mission is to inspire and empower students, musicians, and audiences with innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to music creation and appreciation.
