About Me

Hello, I'm Alison and welcome to my page! I truly believe that music is a gift and I am passionate about sharing that gift through teaching and playing. I love music and I definitely love teaching private lessons, which I have been doing for about 5 years now! Every student brings new challenges of which I'm ready to tackle with them and help them grow.

I received a degree in viola performance from the University of Louisville School of Music in May 2010. I studied under Chien-Ju Liao along with many other great violists in the Louisville community. I've also had the pleasure of playing with many quartets, chamber ensembles and orchestras including Louisville Youth Orchestra, All-State, the UofL Symphony, and the Louisville Orchestra. Some of my greatest moments involve playing in Carnegie Hall and premiering a world-class ballet performance with the UofL Symphony Orchestra. Music has been a part of my life since I was little and I can't imagine life without it. Along with...

About Me

I started playing piano when I was 8. I started writing compositions around 9. Since I was singing in the choir, I began to fuse piano and singing, until I wrote my first song with words when I was twelve. Along the way I learned guitar, bass, drums, and various forms of composition and recording techniques. I toured with my band The Navigators for several years and I have had compositions of mine in TV shows like "The Unit" and in the documentary "Dreamriders" as well as various independent films. Along the way I have taught every age group from six months of age up to adult.

About Me

I love music, I love teaching, and I've been fortunate enough to make a living doing both.

A little about me: I'm originally from Erie, PA. I started playing guitar in high school, and realized that I wanted to dedicate my life to music. I went on to earn my Bachelor's degree in music education from SUNY Fredonia. For my undergrad, I learned how to play piano and most of the band instruments (trumpet, saxophone, flute, percussion, etc), but I focused on classical guitar. I performed three separate recitals, and also played with the Fredonia Guitar Quartet for two years. I also learned how to play mandolin and tenor banjo (which I played with a Dixieland jazz band). While I am classical trained, my true love has always been rock and folk music.

I moved down to Louisville, KY to earn a masters degree in music history and literature. I wrote my thesis on Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich, and also published an article on a trip he made to Louisville. I currently teach both...

About Me

Hello! My name is Shilan. I began singing at the age of 3 and began my professional singing career at age 21. I am passionate about music and about helping great students become even greater singers! I listen to and enjoy singing all genres of music. My favorite thing about teaching is getting to learn from my students. You're never too wise or too old to learn something new.

While attending Indiana University I took voice lessons, then began giving voice lessons at D&P Joubert LLC in New York. I tour overseas and conduct work shops with children and adults in Japan and Europe. Every year we audition singers to go on our overseas tours and I get the pleasure of working with them and preparing them to sing overseas.

I enjoy working with people and helping them go beyond their expectations as a vocalist. My goal is to help students find their voice and reach their full potential. I believe that if you can talk, I can teach you to sing!
