Alexander was very happy to move to boston and continue the work he had started in britain. He became so successful that he soon opened his own school called ‘The School of Vocal Physiology’. However , he was so busy there that he did not have the time to work on his inventions.
Then, two years later, he agreed to give private lessons to a young boy whose family allowed him to use their basement as a workshop. This gave Alexander the opportunity to resume his experiments with sound transmitters. He used to spend all his free time, and most of his money, on his inventions. At that time he had another student who greatly influenced his life.
