Alison has been really flexible with scheduling and seems to be really good with younger kids (pre-teen). Ours seems to be having a lot of fun, while still gradually getting better at the guitar. We’ve been with her several months now.

Alison taught lessons to me and my kids. It was a lot of fun. She was great with the kids and provided me with challenging pieces. She is technically competent and has a really great relaxed teaching style.

Alison is great with kids She is professional, patient, and passionate about teaching. Alison understands each child is different and may have different needs and learning mechanisms. My daughter loved her guitar and piano lessons with Alison, and would always ask when is my next lesson in between sessions. I would highly recommend Alison.
