Her childhood in Rochester, New York was evidently a musical one; her mother, Anna (Rosh) Alpert, was an opera singer. Following her graduation from East High School in Rochester, Alpert became a scholarship student in piano at the Eastman School of Music, studying briefly under Selim Palmgren (between 1923 and 1927). Alpert\u2019s career as a performer was primarily focused on popular music venues, including radio, solo concerts, theater, recordings and nightclub work throughout the United States. She was billed as the \u201cWhirlwind Pianist,\u201d and noted for her technical facility. Alpert recorded for RCA Victor, Sonora, Pilot-Tone, and Rabson, in addition to motion picture shorts for Vitaphone and more than 500 piano rolls for Duo-Art. Her radio and television work for NBC and CBS included guest solo spots with Paul Whiteman, Rudy Vallee, and Fred Allen, as well as her own semi-weekly program for WOR radio in New York City. Alpert also composed novelty pieces for the piano (published by Mills Music Company), and made her own arrangements.\u00a0 She died on April 11, 1988.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4245&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_outline&#8221; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Provenance&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1686075492323{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]Two of Alpert&#8217;s scrapbooks were donated by Artis Wodehouse on 4 August, 1995.
