My 5 year old son had his first ukelele lesson with Alison this morning. Near the end of the lesson, he asked if he could have another lesson and followed up with "I like you." He then spent time this afternoon practicing the technique Alison taught this morning. Needless to say, I booked more lessons.

This was my daughters first lesson with Miss Alison. Alison was very patient and kind with my daughter. My daughter has already learned how play a few different fills and beats in her first class! I was very impressed with Alison’s teaching style and way with children. I will definitely be booking more lessons!

We love Alison. If I could leave her more stars, I would. She's been great with our son, keeps things on point during the lesson, and provides excellent notes after each lesson that are short and concise. We've chosen to continue booking weekly lessons with her, and I would recommend her to anyone. She's kind, personable, incredibly gifted and can play any instrument she puts her hands on. I highly recommend her!

Good morning, My first Lesson with Alison worked out well. I had some technical difficulty-perhaps I need to use another microphone and external speakers for better results, but the session went well.
Alison gave me some helpful tips to continue working on and I look forward to continuing my lessons with her

I have been taking piano lessons with Alison for 1 year now and have thoroughly enjoyed it and am very happy with my progress. Alison is very good at assessing my abilities and has always got great tips when I'm struggling with a piece of music or musical pattern. I chose Alison as a teacher as she's a true musician; playing multiple instruments herself, she's able to put herself into the shoes of the learner and has a great understanding of music overall. Above all, she's a joy to be around and extremely patient. I would highly recommend her as a teacher.

We have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Ervin since March of 2023. She clearly has a wealth of understanding and knowledge about music theory as well as how to physically play various instruments. This theory component is shared and taught in such a way that shows her deep skill and ability to teach in a way that the student can understand. She is encouraging and supportive in every way, and listens to incorporate what the student already knows so that their current understanding is acknowledge and commended but also then deepened. She accomplishes all of this through patient explanation and demonstration through screen sharing, website links, sending attachments, and physically demonstrating aspects being shared on various musical instruments as applicable. Knowing something doesn't make someone a good or great teacher. It takes skill to be able to reach a child, make what you are sharing clear, make sure it is understood, and be willing to teach it in multiple ways to reach kids who think or see things differently and Ms. Ervin embodies this to the fullest. I would highly recommend her to anyone. We are very happy we signed up for weekly lessons with her.
