TESTIMONIALS

 

"Alicia Phelps has an amazing knowledge of music, particularly jazz piano, vocals, songwriting, improvisation, and music theory. It’s an inspiration to play with her together on improvising exercises because she can make anything you do sound great! She has a fabulous rapport with students, young and old. (My daughters and I all take lessons!) Most importantly, she makes music fun even while she is stretching your mind, fingers, and heart to discover new territories and capabilities." – Lindsay Sterling, Freeport ME 

​

"We love Alicia's enthusiasm and positive approach to teaching piano. She engages and adapts to each students age and interests. Her use of duets allows the student to hear more complex piece and envision playing [the pieces] themselves." - Ursula and Warren Wilmot, Freeport ME
