About
I have been playing music for most of my life (minus the first 3 years). Seeking the experience of singing, performing, and playing multiple instruments, my skills have grown in a variety of arenas: theater, choir, rock bands, jazz bands, acoustic pop covers, songwriting, hosting open mics, and teaching.
I truly believe it is never too late or too early to start learning songs. Skills you will work on with me are learning to read music, understand music theory, and improve your ear and your rhythm. I have experience with private lessons and small groups, so if you are in need of a class for your kids who are out of school, I can help!

Allison is a patient and caring teacher. I feel so lucky having been able to book lessons with her! There were times when I had to move our lessons around and she was very flexible and understanding. She's easy to work with and quick to respond.
Her teaching style was great and I could tell that she was customizing the lessons per my learning style.

Allison was amazing! She played her ukulele while I walked down the isle at my wedding and it was beautiful. Working with her prior to the event was a breeze...she was very responsive and even provided me with an audio sample. She also played guitar while people were getting seated and I heard very positive feedback from our guests. I highly recommend her! Thanks Allison.

Great at seeing what our son likes and helping internally motivate him! She has bought a few specific books for him based on his interests. She really meets him where he is and helps him expand. Very happy

Allison was amazing! She not only worked around my agenda, but she learned new songs to make the night special for me and now my fiancé! Wooohhooo! That was such a special place to get engaged and happy Allison was apart of it! Thanks again!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rates are estimated on time performing and traveling, starting at $150 an hour per performer. However, I love to learn new songs, so advanced requests are included in my services.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When I first connect with a customer, I found out the main needs of the event:
1) What kind of musical atmosphere? That can be created by acoustic or electric instruments; vocals or instrumentals; number of musicians; specific songs, bands, and genres
2) What are the physical requirements? Equipment available, equipment I need to bring; size of the event space, size of the performing space; where I can load in, where can I park; preferred attire: casual, professional, glamorous, costume
3) The event itself: I usually check in sometime the week of the event (unless it was booked within a week). I check in with the point person when I arrive, unless I have been instructed how to set up without checking in. I prefer the quickest and most painless process available for the needs of the event.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have studied piano since 1988 with a focus in classical and jazz, guitar since 1997 with a focus in folk and rock, and ukulele since 2001. I have worked with private tutors and graduated music theory classes.
I have performed in front of audiences since the age of 8, starting in choir, continuing to do so solo, and playing with bands at age 16.
