    About Alison W.

    I am an experienced Music Educator and would love to share the joy of music with you! My mission is to create joyful experiences that inspire a lifelong love of the arts. I am an operatically trained vocalist and have been playing piano since I was nine years old. I have been teaching for seven years. I taught private voice and piano to ages 5-65 for four years, then received my Bachelor's of Music in Music Education from Southern Methodist University. I became a certified Music Educator and taught K-5 music and ukulele in public schools as well as internationally. During my time in the K-5 classroom, my students were invited as a featured group to perform at a state music educator's convention, I presented workshops to fellow educators, and I organized an 80 student ukulele program! I have extensive performance experience. I have sung professionally for musical theatre companies, churches, and private events. I'm currently based out of the NYC/ Jersey City area and loving every minute of it! If you are looking to learn voice, piano, ukulele, recorder, alto recorder, music theory, sight singing, or general music in a playful and engaging way, I am the tutor for you! Voice is my primary instrument and I specialize in classical voice and opera with experience in musical theatre. I absolutely love teaching beginners, and also have experience teaching more advanced students as well. I am certified in the Orff-Schulwerk approach, an unique approach to music education that is focused on play and discovery. Let's make music together! I am here to make lessons work for your unique needs, learning style, and musical interests. I am available most evenings and weekends, and some weekdays.
