Director and Teacher
Alexander Alvarado wurde in eine musikalische Familie hineingeboren und begann seine musikalische Reise schon in jungen Jahren, angefangen mit der Geige bei seiner Mutter Alexandra Loukianova, bevor er zur klassischen Gitarre wechselte. Obwohl er in verschiedenen Ländern aufgewachsen ist und in Moskau, Russland, (dem Heimatland seiner Mutter) geboren wurde, in Bogotá, Kolumbien, (dem Heimatland seines Vaters) aufgewachsen ist und einige Jahre in Sydney, Australien, lebte, haben nun die Wurzeln seiner Familie in Berlin ein neues Zuhause gefunden. Mit einer starken Leidenschaft für Musikausbildung, Komposition und Aufführung setzte Alexander seine Studien an renommierten Institutionen wie dem Queensland Conservatorium of Music und dem Sydney Conservatorium fort. Derzeit absolviert er sein Masterstudium an der SAE. Alexanders musikalische Ausbildung wurde durch seine Eltern Alexandra Loukianova und Dr. Carlos Alvarado sowie durch namhafte Gitarristen wie Sonia Diaz, Julian Byzantine (ein Schüler von John Williams), Giuseppe Zangari, Raffael Agostino, Timothy Kain, Greg Pickler und Phillip Haughton bereichert. Seine Hingabe zur Musik geht über das Gitarrenspiel hinaus. Unter Anleitung von Dr. Anne Boyd hat er sich mit dem Bereich der Komposition befasst und seine Fähigkeiten im Dirigieren durch Unterricht bei Anthony Fields verfeinert.

With over 20 years of experience playing the guitar, my musical journey began with a love for creating loud, wild sounds on the electric guitar – a passion that still drives me today. Over time, I’ve also developed a deep appreciation for the acoustic guitar and have expanded my expertise to the bass guitar, which I’ve been playing for many years.
My background is strongest in rock and folk music, but I also have an interest in classical and traditional styles. Alongside many years of playing in bands, I have extensive teaching experience and am passionate about helping students of all levels discover their own musical voice.
For me, one of the greatest joys in music is the magic that happens when you’re jamming with others, and everything just clicks. It’s an incredible feeling, and I strive to bring that sense of connection and discovery into my teaching.

I am a guitarist and guitar teacher originally from Hungary, with over 20 years of experience living in Spain. My passion for the guitar, especially flamenco, began 18 years ago in Granada, Andalusia, and has since guided me through a journey spanning Córdoba, Jerez, Mallorca, Hungary, and now Berlin.
In Andalusia, I had the privilege of learning flamenco in its most authentic form, immersing myself in the daily life of Flamenco Clubs (Peñas), and studying under local guitarists. Additionally, I refined my skills through masterclasses with renowned maestros such as Pepe del Morao and Rycardo Moreno.
Since 2020, I’ve been performing as a professional guitarist across three countries in venues ranging from restaurants and music bars to galleries and theaters. My performances include solo acts, duos, and collaborations with bands. During this time, I also began teaching flamenco guitar, sharing the passion and knowledge I’ve gained through the oral traditions of flamenco.
In 2022, I moved to Berlin, where I’ve been focusing on producing an album while offering lessons and workshops.
