CREATIVE LEARNING AND PARTICIPATION:

"Alice combines wonderful playing and musicianship with a natural affinity for engaging with people creatively. I have seen Alice improvising music alongside young children, people with learning disabilites, and people living with dementia. Every time there is a real sense of excitement and creativity that never fails to impress me."
Julian West, Head of Open Academy, Royal Academy of Music

"I was incredibly impressed with how much you adapted to the role with skill and a natural sensitivity"
Nicole Artingstall, Creative Encounters project, Spitalfields Music Producer (Learning and Participation) ​
BLOG POST by Alice about her experience 

"I was hugely impressed and think you have a real flair for this type of work. I loved the way you related to both the children and their teacher - drawing out the shyer members of the class, valuing and applauding their ideas" 
Cathy Boyes, BREMF Education project (devised and delivered), BREMF Festival Producer 

​"Alice's contribution on our 2017  summer Superstrings course proved to be outstanding. Not only did she coax the very best result out of her children's chamber music group enticing them to explore  the wonder's of Mozart, but she was a formidable house parent, dealing with everything 9-17 year olds chose to  throw at her! She is a perfect team player."
Daphne Moody Superstrings
