ALEXANDER WINGO

Music Education Percussion and Vocal Emphasis
Class of Spring 2019

Alexander “Alex” Wingo, is originally from Columbus, Ohio. Alex is a student worker in the School of Music (SOM) resource center and performance booth. Away from work and school, he enjoys board games and going on double dates with his wife, Kaley.

“Living seven hours away, Lee has really become a second home to me,” said Alex. “I’ve made so many relationships at Lee that will last past my four years on campus.”

A recipient of the Brandon Woods and Presidential Scholarship, Alex also leads a children’s drum group at Broad Street United Methodist Church. In the summer of 2017, Alex traveled with SOM faculty and students to Germany to observe the 500th anniversary of the reformation and study the music of Bach.

“My peers and the faculty have made such an impact on me,” said Alex. “Lee is definitely a place where you can tell people are praying for you.”

After graduation, Alex plans to audition for graduate percussion programs at Florida State University, University of Kentucky, and University of South Carolina.
