To whom it may concern,

Alessandra Napoleon has studied saxophone and chamber music with me at Temple University
since the fall of 2017. I’m writing to offer my most sincere recommendation on her behalf.

In the time I’ve worked with Alessandra, she has made a strong impression. She plays with intensity,
conviction, and nuance, has a lovely tone and solid technique, and has performed major saxophone
repertoire at an exceedingly high level. She has an indelible work ethic and is always well-prepared
and inquisitive. She is constantly seeking out knowledge and opportunities to grow and learn, and is
eager to improve every aspect of her musicianship and artistry.

Alessandra has excellent interpersonal skills, is very kind, unassuming, and articulate, with a great
sense of humor. She has a very positive energy, and would make a wonderful faculty member and an
excellent model for aspiring musicians/students.

Thanks for giving her every consideration, and please don’t hesitate to contact me at (215) 870-9504
of mlevy257@gmail.com with any questions.

Cordially,

Matthew Levy
