I've taken voice lessons with Alize for about five years, and she has helped me not only greatly improve my singing but also become a more courageous and comfortable performer and a more thoughtful songwriter. She is a wonderful teacher who always knows what to pull out of her bag of tricks for the issue that appears during the lesson. She has the right balance of encouragement and toughness, always pushing you to become better than you imagined you could be. And, I couldn’t imagine a better voice teacher and would encourage anyone of any age to study with her.

Alize taught my daughter beginning at age 8 for the last 5 years. Alize was able to convey her knowlege in a way that a young student could understand. Alize also engaged with my daughter on a personal level to find out what her interests were so that she could select pieces to work on that were of interest to her. My daughter had no musical background when she began and now sings beautifully (in my non biased mother’s opinion :) ) My daughter joined her school’s choir at a new school this year - something I don’t think she would have considered without having studied with Alize. On another note, Alize herself is an amazing and accomplished performer. I have always thought my daughter is so fortunate that someone as talented as Alize takes the time to teach others.

Alize is a phenomenal vocal instructor! I've had several teachers over the years and some singing experience, mostly in order to teach drama in original productions. I also had an issue with voice weakness recently. Alize was able to instantly identify areas that needed help, and she opened up my voice to an amazing degree. Her obvious care, kindness and professionalism made working with her a delightful (if very challenging!) experience. When I was tapped at the last minute for a local production, she coached me intensively and I received excellent feedback for the performance. I'm so grateful to Alize and can't wait to work with her more!
