As a teacher, Allysia is passionate about helping students learn to play songs they enjoy. She has experience playing and teaching many styles of music, including classical, folk, pop, rock, jazz, and metal, so her students are welcome to build a repertoire of songs that reflect their musical tastes. She uses these songs along with traditional instruction methods to help students develop essential musical skills such as note reading, rhythm, expression, and more. Allysia’s main goal as a teacher is to guide and inspire her students to become the best musicians they can be.
