Jenny Evans, Parent
"My daughter learned to play the violin with Alice at age 5 and has been her student ever since. Now she is 18 and beginning her university degree in violin performance in the Fall!
Alice's enthusiasm ignited my daughter's love for music. Her supportive and detail-oriented teaching style has helped my daughter become the best violinist she can be."
Deb Verner, Parent
"My daughter had a wonderful experience studying with Alice! She worked with her for 10 years and the lessons were consistently engaging and practice instructions were clear.
It was exciting to see my daughter’s love and understanding of music blossom under her instruction."
Timothy Terranella, Dept. Chair Strings at Groton Hill Music
"I have known Alice for several years, first as Concertmaster of the Vista Philharmonic ad subsequently as a superb violin instructor at Groton Hill Music."
Alice is an extraordinary violinist whose talent and dedication is well known throughout the musical community. Having trained at the Juilliard School in NYC, Alice possesses exceptional technical skills paired with a deep musical understanding.
As Chair of the String Department at Groton Hill Music, I have witnessed her unique method of instruction. She is very patient and kind, presenting the perfect balance of humor and seriousness. Alice would have the ability to work with any student from a beginner through a highly advanced player.
She is adored by all her fellow musicians and students alike and one would be hard pressed to find a more qualified instructor."
