A music teacher and composer, Alice Verne sang and played the violin and hoped for a career as a singer of light opera but, partly through serious illness, turned to the piano, taking lessons from Marie
Schumann in London. After accompanying her sisters on concert tours, Alice organized the junior department of Mathilde's piano school.
Her compositions included a Mass, a Phantasy Trio (which won a prize in 1910), the Toy Suite, and an Adaggio for Strings (1947).
Along with most of her other sisters, Alice changed her name to Verne in 1893 after the death of their father John Wurm.
