Love Kingston Marketplace Presents: Live musical performances in Springer Market Square!!. Showcasing a variety of local solos, duos and trios, this diverse live music program will offer a wide selection of performance styles and genres from Kingston musicians. Today featuring the music of Alex Mundy.
Music has been integral in shaping Alex’s career. In 2013, she received a Bachelor of Arts Honours degree in Drama and Music from Queen’s University, and in 2014, she completed her teaching degree in the Queen’s Concurrent Education program. In a pursuit to blend her passions for music, theatre and education, Alex performed with the children’s theatre troupe, The Barefoot Players, providing educational arts workshops in local schools, parks, and community centres. She also had the unique opportunity to teach middle school arts education programs in the rural community of Deep Creek, Eleuthera, Bahamas in 2014. It was there that she experienced the power of music as a universal language, as she and her students connected through the collaboration of culture, song, and dance. More recently, Alex taught early childhood music education classes with Kingston Frontenac Music Together. This program allowed her to support young children and families through collaborative song and movement activities.
Throughout her career, Alex has always turned to songwriting to tell her story. “When I have something to say, music is my megaphone. I love the challenge of taking an idea and sculpting it into a succinct hook or phrase. Putting each element together – the chord progression, melody, instrumentation, lyrics – the writing process is like my therapy. Everything seems to make more sense after I’ve written it into a song.” Alex has recorded some of her original work at Wolfe Island Records with musician and producer Chris Brown (Bourbon Tabernacle Choir), and continues to share her music with others through professional recording and live performance.
While Alex has spent the past ten years pursuing a career in education, she has always kept music at the forefront of that process. Now, as an established teacher, Alex is ready to take on the next phase of music-making in her life.
