Alex

A self-proclaimed late bloomer, Alex Houghton began a serious relationship with the guitar in her early 20’s. With no previous musical background, she began to study in earnest with whomever she could. Private lessons with Paul Bourdeau, a renowned expert on the music of Lenny Breau; 3 years of musical studies at both Carleton and Ottawa Universities; occasional lessons with Don Ross and Pierre Bensusan and workshops and master classes with any guitarist who piqued her musical curiosity all helped to inspire her.
