Trained at the Juilliard School, he has taught musical composition and related disciplines at the Faculty of Music of the University of Montreal (http://www.musique.umontreal.ca/) for over twenty years now. He maintains a large website (http://www.musique.umontreal.ca/personnel/Belkin/e.index.html), offering free pedagogical articles and booklets he has written, on various musical subjects. These booklets, based on two decades of teaching experience, offer information and methods which complement and complete those found in standard texts. Examples of Alan Belkin�s music can be heard via his worklist (http://www.musique.umontreal.ca/personnel/Belkin/worklist.html) page.
