What pupils and parents say
Alice is a superb singing teacher, highly skilled and has developed my daughters singing over several years, she is now a confident performer who continues to progress. Alice is always happy to guide and help prepare for performances and my daughter highly values her opinion. The practice room in Alice's house is a wonderfully comfortable space for lessons each week. Valued skills in West Penwith!
HelenParent of a singing pupil Alice has been teaching my daughter how to play the piano for a number of years now and I cannot thank Alice enough for the difference she has made. My daughter has gained in confidence, whilst developing her ability to read music and a true love of music. Alice communicates clearly each week and has high expectations of her students - who absolutely thrive under her tuition. I would highly recommend Alice to anyone and only wish we had found her earlier! Thank you Alice 😊
JessParent of a piano pupil A lovely talented experienced teacher, she is kind and encouraging and always gives great guidance and singing tips. I really feel the improvement from my lessons and I look forward to them each week, so so fab 💫💫
HoneySinging pupil I love, love, love my piano lessons with Alice! Three years on, I have grown in confidence, and with Alice's encouragement, I will attempt pieces that I would never have tried by myself. She has broadened my range and introduced me to so many wonderful pieces. It's so interesting to learn about the composers, their histories, their motivation for writing, as well as how to attempt the technical aspects of each piece. Her encouraging style is underpinned by her own fabulous skills but also with the ability to teach and to share her knowledge. Lessons with Alice are a highlight of my week, and I thoroughly enjoy practising at home, too - something I couldn't say when I was a child!
