Teaches in Northern Los Angeles

From Los Angeles, California

Plays Piano, and Voice

About

Alice has been teaching piano and voice for more than 10 years. Singing being her primary instrument, Alice values the importance of piano playing and has a strong passion for it. She believes that playing piano and singing is not merely a study of other people’s works, it is the creation of one’s own material and experimentation in improvisation.

She was born in Minsk, Belarus, where she graduated from a Music school majoring in singing, piano and music theory.

Alice started playing piano and singing when she was 5 years old which both have provided her with tremendous musical experiences and growth. She has accompanied soloists and herself, led church worship and was responsible for music programs at international conferences. Alice has always had a passion for teaching so she volunteered in many summer camps where she was responsible for music programs, teaching private piano, voice and music theory lessons and performing and accompanying concert performances. In 2008 she was assigned to be Assistant Music Director in one of the most successful churches in Belarus. She coordinated the programs, communicated with many artists and performed with them. She has been playing with her bands at special events and continually develops different genres and styles of music.

After graduating high school Alice decided to complete a Bachelors in Computer Studies. It might look like these two spheres are far from each other, however Alice believed that technology would help her discover new horizons in music and complement the skill that she’s honed since a young age. She graduated with high accolades and continued her music career path. 



After moving to the US, she decided to pursue a Vocal Jazz degree. She combines studying and working part-time as a piano accompanist and vocalist for different types of performances. Alice instructs at the National Children’s Chorus, Jazz Hands for Autism, private students, and at the Recreational Centers. She performs with Elite Holiday Entertainment, as a part of the Tonality choir, as well as a lead soprano at the First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood, and with her own Neo Soul band all around Los Angeles. Working with her private students helped her gain valuable experience in working with individuals of different ages and professional levels, enhancing her abilities. While studying at Pasadena City College, she received scholarships and awards for Excellence in Music Studies and Outstanding Academic and Musical Achievement. She earned her Master’s Degree at the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music, majoring in Jazz Studies.
