Alex Wolff began his musical study on trumpet at the age of 11. Shortly after, he switched to the tenor trombone and would later add alto trombone, bass trombone, and euphonium to his musical arsenal. After graduating from high school in his home town of Mandan North Dakota, he attended the University of Minnesota and studied with Prof. Tom Ashworth of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. Alex received his undergraduate degree and became the newest member of the CSBQ in the spring of 2009.


Alex has been offering private lessons for the last 7 years and his students have received such honors as All-Conference bands, All-State bands, outstanding soloists, and outstanding musicianship. As a player, Alex has performed with numerous groups throughout the Twin Cities, including Davina and the Wagabonds, Tom Hunter, Centennial Brass Quintet, and G8. He has also played with local orchestras including the Bloomington Symphony and the Mankato Symphony. In the summer of 2008, Alex was selected as one of only 21 members of the Disney All-American College Band. He spent the summer performing with some of the world’s elite musicians including Alex Iles, Jiggs Whigham, Rick Baptist, and the Army Blues Band. While in LA he also took lessons with Mark Lawernce, Steve Witser, Bill Booth, and Dick Nash.
