Alice Person - Music - Her Pieces

Because the pieces that Alice played were no doubt learned by ear, she had to have them written down before she could publish them. In her unpublished book, Alice shares the story of the pleasant experience she had while having her pieces transcribed into the form in which they appear behind the links that follow. Each digitized page of Alice's music includes an audio link to that piece as interpreted by Dr. Charles Bath, Chair of the Keyboard Department at the ECU School of Music.
