Born in 2009, Alma began playing the recorder with Catherine Gray in St Albans. Since 2019 she is a student of Barbara Law at the Junior Royal Academy of Music. Whilst in primary school she was first prize winner at various music festivals (North London Festival, Watford Festival, St Albans Young Musician). In 2022 she participated in the Tel Aviv Recorder Festival’s international competition, where she won first prize in the ‘11-14’ and ‘works by women composers’ categories.
Between 2022 and 2024 she won the Junior, Intermediate and Senior Wind Prizes at the Junior Academy. She took part in masterclasses with Lucie Horsch, Chris Orton, Gudula Rosa and Drora Bruck.
Alma is just about to do her GCSEs, and is hoping to start her A-levels at Parmiter’s School in Garston. She studies the cello with Josephine Horder, is a keen player in Parmiter’s Orchestra, and is planning to attend the Young Grittleton chamber music course for the fourth year running. Outside school and playing Alma enjoys listening to pop music, doing yoga, watching TV shows and reading.
