As a coach, Alicia works most regularly with adults and young adults. However, Alicia holds an Enhanced DBS and accepts students aged 8+. She has a vast background in working with children and has taught music to students as young as four years old! In the past, Alicia has worked as an Au Pair and English teacher, volunteered with mentoring and paired reading schemes, as well as teaching freelance for children's performing arts and dance schools. Due to high demand, Alicia is currently only offering hour sessions. These are fantastic for committed and mature young people who may be actively performing and auditioning, and require some vocal technique and vocal health guidance. Alicia has worked regularly with children on agencies and part of performing arts schools.

Please get in touch with your requirements and Alicia will see what she can do!
