Since his affiliation as a composer and clinician
with Alfred Publishing began in 1986, Dennis Alexander has earned
an international reputation as one of North America�s most
prolific and popular composers of educational piano music for
students at all levels. Mr. Alexander retired from his position at
the University of Montana in May, 1996, where he had taught piano
and piano pedagogy for 24 years. He currently resides in
