Leveraging her diverse skills as a multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and empath, she imparts fundamental knowledge while honing in on each student's unique passions. Alice covers various styles, including pop, folk, jazz, and classical. In 2020, she initiated songwriting education workshops in schools and online groups, dedicated to empowering aspiring musicians to write, sing, and play their own songs. Midcoast Maine students also have the opportunity to record and produce their original music while receiving mentorship in the music business.
With her patient demeanor, background in music therapy, and advocacy for mental health, Alice fosters an honest and open learning environment. Here, students can safely explore, share, and express their emotions through their voice, instrument, or songwriting. While not claiming to be a therapist, Alice often finds students likening their lessons to therapy, a testament to the supportive atmosphere she creates. One of the advantages of learning from a multi-instrumentalist like Alice is the flexibility for a piano student to later explore voice, guitar, or songwriting. Alice provides guidance every step of the way, tailoring curriculums to individual needs and interests. Lessons may encompass popular songs, technique, music theory, improvisation, composition/songwriting, and the engaging Wunderkeys piano curriculum. Alice welcomes complete beginners of all ages as well as experienced musicians.

Testimonials
"Alice has ignited our 15yr old daughter’s love of song- writing and strengthened her guitar playing. Beyond that, Alice has encouraged her to have the confidence to share her voice and creativity with others. She is truly a gifted teacher and guide!" - Anne A., Camden, ME
"From Burnout to Brilliance! I came to Alice in the middle of a long battle with creative burnout. Before coming to her I hadn’t written a single song in years, but within just one lesson I found myself inspired to write and I just haven’t stopped since! Alice is honestly one of the most inspiring teachers I’ve ever worked with, always so encouraging, accommodating and supportive! Since coming into her studio I have gone from a place of deep burnout despite only having written two songs, to having written enough for at least two full length albums, developing the tools and habits needed to combat and prevent burnout, released my own original music (recorded in her studio!) and am well on my way to setting off on a vibrant career as a singer/songwriter, with no signs of stopping. I could go on and on, but honestly you’d be better off just setting up a lesson and meeting her yourself. You’ll thank yourself after!" - Sofija K., Oakland, ME
"Alice is wonderful, I’ve been seeing her for voice/guitar/song writing and I’ve learned so much at a very comfortable pace. I also started bringing my daughters in for voice and ukulele lessons, Alice’s approach really takes the pressure off and helps them relax and explore their musical abilities. She even bought a special adapter for the ukulele to help my younger daughter Annie, who has Down syndrome. I’m always recommending Alice to people, we all have a voice and it’s so healing to learn how to best use it!" - Angella H., Rockport, ME
"Alice follows her student’s musical interests, which makes practice motivating and, most of all, fun! I love the variety of techniques she’s using to teach me to play the guitar not just well, but also with relaxation and physical ease. I’m so pleased with my progress and look forward to each lesson." - Tyla S., Union, ME

"Alice has been my voice and guitar teacher for over a year. She is serious minded and focused in lessons and has been able to help me work through major ambivalence and low confidence in music playing. She has been patient and supportive through my arduous process of contending with my own frustration and self consciousness. She sends me a recording of our voice warm up and practice outline I can use throughout the week.I was skeptical about the mystery of songwriting but I have been surprised that it is possible for me. We have tackled understanding song structure, lyric writing, and developing my own voice. Song writing feels interesting and enjoyable. Alice offers different exercises that help with learning and provides a supportive and warm space in which to work."

"After our basic ukulele unit, my fifth graders were ready to extend their learning. Alice's songwriting workshop was just the ticket to help them take their music making to the next level. She is professional, relaxed and creative as she moves the students through the building blocks of creating a song. I would highly recommend her program!"

"Alice is such a wonderful and supportive teacher. She crafted a music education experience for our middle schooler that allowed her to explore guitar, piano, and songwriting within her one hour lessons each week. She tailored the lessons to our young musician's own musical goals, which allowed her to grow musically despite having very little available time in her schedule. Our musician discovered herself as a songwriter in these lessons and Alice fully supported her with developing and recording her songs. Alice emphasizes music as a form of self expression, with no barrier to entry. A completely positive and inspiring experience for our music student." - Ariana K., Camden, ME
"Alice has been teaching my son piano for the last year or so. He started at 5yrsold and she's been able to keep his attention and get him excited about music. She encourages him to create his own music, keeps him engaged with games, activities, and challenges. She's easy to work with and he looks forward to lessons!" - Kelli M., Rockland, ME
