Private Lessons for All Ages

Alice offers engaging lessons to students of all ages. She currently teaches private piano Sunday-Thursdays at various music studios in Washington, DC. Alice has taught people ranging in age from 3-years-old to 70+ years-old! 

Her offerings include:

Sunday thru Tuesday, Alice teaches with Takoma Music School (TMS), a 15 minute walk from the metro through downtown Takoma Park. TMS is based inside of Tonal Park, an award winning recording, mixing, and mastering studio. Learn more about lessons and TMS's policies here.

On Wednesday, Alice teaches at The Hill Center, just two blocks away from the Eastern Market metro station. The location boasts use of a mint condition Steinway Upright Mahogany piano. The Hill Center is an artistic community center with other interesting events and activities available onsite. Read policies for this location here.

Thursday, Alice teaches from her home studio (pictured above) in Prince George's county, easy driving distance for people living on the NE side of Washington, DC and the eastern suburbs in Maryland. Here, you'll play on a Roland Digital Upright piano with built in ear-training games and lots of fun sounds! Read policies for this location here.

"I highly recommend voice lessons with Alice! As an adult student who was mildly traumatized by singing experiences growing up, working with Alice has felt restorative and FUN! In just a few months, I’ve learned new techniques and unlearned techniques that were no longer helping me. Working with Alice is also improving my confidence with singing. I appreciate the breadth of experience Alice brings her teaching and enjoy how tailored each lesson feels to my voice and needs as a singer. 

"Whether you’re just starting out, are coming back to singing after a hiatus, or simply want to get better, Alice would be a great choice as a teacher! "

“Ms. Alice makes playing piano fun.” 

- Ryan T, age 12.

“Ms. Alice is so good at showing me tactics that help me learn. Also, she’s a really good singer!” 

- Andrew T, age 9.

“We’ve had a few teachers over the last few years and weren’t sure we were going to stick with it.  Ms. Alice is the reason we’ve decided to continue.  Our boys have very different personalities and she handles them both with patience and grace. They are motivated to practice and are excited to go to their lessons.” 

- Sue Tiedeman
Parent of Ryan and Andrew at Music On The Hill

"Rory really enjoys his lessons with Miss Alice, and we often find him at home plucking away on the piano without prompting now—in fact he played every day of winter break without us reminding him.”

-Colleen Rutledge
Parent of youth student, Music on the Hill

"I've had keyboard lessons before and felt like I couldn't keep up, or like the lessons didn't stick, but Alice created a personalized experience that suited my goals and learning style. Alice's knowledge and passion for music shines through in their lessons and it was a pleasure getting to work with them.
I highly recommend to anyone taking music lessons with Alice!"

- Demi Gary
Adult piano student, Melting Virgo Home Studio
