Cello Teacher Orpington/ Cello Teacher Bromley, Beckenham, Hayes, Sidcup

I was studying at the Junior Royal College of Music and was pretty miserable there when a conductor friend of the family's mentioned Alice McVeigh. So for the last two years before uni my father drove me around the M25 to study every Saturday with her. Suddenly I started enjoying playing again! Alice is so upbeat and inspiring, my whole attitude changed. I'm double majoring in math and cello in America as of September--and on a cello scholarship, partly thanks to Alice!

Alice taught me from beginner to Grade 8 distinction. I am now co-principal in the Bromley Youth Music Trust Symphony Orchestra and Chamber Orchestra (our German tour is next week!) and next year I go to Cambridge. Alice is always encouraging and supportive, and always made me feel as if I could do anything if I worked hard enough. I'm 'happy to recommend Alice as a teacher and a friend.

I was a top executive and had played piano to a high level all my life (post grade 8). I was in my mid-fifties) when I received a cello as a birthday present from my wife. Alice McVeigh was recommended to me, and we get along famously. In two years I had distinction grade V and was able to play 'real' music (well, in the baroque). Alice's attitude is first-rate and she loves to teach with duets. I'm thrilled to recommend her to pupils of any age!

I'm studying with Alice, as of two years ago, when I switched teachers after I only got a merit at Grade 5 and my parents weren't happy with my progress. Since I've been with Alice I've gotten into the National Children's Orchestra and a distinction at Grade 6. I'm happier too, because Alice makes the cello fun as well as hard work. We are VERY happy to recommend Alice McVeigh.

I studied with Alice for five years, finishing grade 8 distinction and then gaining honours at ABRSM Performer's Certificate. Then unfortunately I went to uni to read law and haven't been able to play cello for the last eight years!!! However, I will come back to it, because I loved it, and I loved studying with Alice. Alice is a baroque specialist, and the lessons when we talked about performance practice and then played baroque duets were my fav..

I came to Alice aged sixty, having longed to play cello all my life but never had the time. I told her my age on the phone and asked if it was too late, and she said, come for a free consultation lesson but she couldn't see why not, so I came. Alice is so enthusiastic about music and the cello I just knew she could teach me, even at sixty (I'm 65 now and Grade 6 merit!) Cannot recommend Alice highly enough.
