Experienced tutor in Cello, Alicia offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Ms. Alicia has a genuine love for music and children. Her patience is beyond measure and a true blessing to our family.

"I am the mother of one of Alicia's cello students, and am also a violin teacher who is extremely picky about choosing music teachers for my own children. My "focus challenged" ADHD son started Suzuki cello lessons with Alicia when he was 8 years old, and under her kind, but persistent and meticulous tutelage progressed to become principal cello of the Tennessee All State orchestra in high school. He is now a cello performance major at a university well- known for its music program. As a college freshman, he is principal cello of the undergraduate orchestra. I attribute much of his success to Alicia's demanding but loving expertise as a Suzuki teacher. We are both lucky to have had the experience of working with her."

"I'm really glad Mikala mentioned you in her bio. We've often remarked when attending a student cello performance how lucky Mikala was to have you set her up with her cello at the beginning. She plays with ease and comfort so that the cello seems an extension of her own body. We both remember the airplane exercise for promoting movement and relaxation when playing. Mikala uses it, as well as "I love my little cello", with her own students today. You were infinitely patient with a little girl who was too shy to talk to her teacher. As Mikala learned to trust and eventually love you, she came out of her shell and blossomed into the relaxed performer she is today. Throughout her training with you Mikala reviewed and improved pieces she had previously learned, thus improving her ear and her sense of striving for ever-elusive perfection in her playing. When she is playing in the Philadelphia area (and even at Aspen), people will ask Mikala if she was a former student of Alicia Randisi - it's the question that comes before the complement on her grace, power and ease with her instrument. Thank you for your dedication to your students. As the years pass and I meet other teachers and their students I realize how exceptional and rare your teaching talent is."

"Alicia is THE teacher for young and older beginners alike. There is no one who is as adept at the technical and musical setup of students of the cello. Certainly, there is no one whom I would entrust more with the responsibility of introducing the art of cello playing to beginners and expanding upon it as their develpoment matures. I cannot recommend her more highly."
