Music To My Ears

  • "Miss Alison is so warm with all her students.

    Taking so much time to let them learn and explore instruments, songs and movement. This is my daughter‘s favourite activity we cant wait to come to class.”

    — Wynne Reece, Parent

  • "A passion for children and teaching are evident in the thought and preparation she puts behind each lesson.

    My children have been learning from Ms. A for nine years and thanks to her knowledge and expertise my kids have developed a true love for music! Alison’s kindness and patience have created a positive learning experience that we love to be a part of. The studio is filled with instruments and activities that create endless opportunities for creativity and inspiration.”

    — Stefanie Yeoman, Parent

    “I love how Miss A always has a bright smile on her face and is always excited to see us!”

    — Madeline, piano student

    — Keegan, piano student

  • Music To My Ears

    “Miss A is the best! She has created such a beautiful atmosphere for our kids to learn in a fun and creative way!”

    — Hollie Corbiere, parent

  • "Where music fills your soul

    Memories are made~friendships are built~An experience that lasts a lifetime”

    — Bre Kaglar

  • "Miss Alison pours so much love, passion, and creativity into everything she does

    Her background as a music teacher is incredibly impressive, and her ability to play and teach such a wide variety of instruments (from shakers and maracas to piano, drums, and guitar) is truly remarkable. Her classes are thoughtfully structured and jam-packed with music, movement, and play. She also incorporates sensory toys and fun elements like a parachute, balls, and scarves…which keeps the children fully engaged and entertained.”

    — Cathy Provencher, Parent

  • "Such a comfortable and stress free environment in which to learn music with my grandchildren.

    Miss A is so friendly and patient. It’s a great experience.”

    — Gerry Laing, Student (Learning piano and guitar with her grandchildren)

  • “I love Miss A, she makes learning music so fun and easy.”

    — Andie Corbiere, Student

  • Two little girls playing the piano together, piano lesson

    "I first discovered Miss Alison almost a year ago, and she has made such an impact on my girls that extends far beyond music.

    Both her in-person music lessons & Mini Mozart piano program are created with such intention and creativity. 

    My 2-year-old has the best time during Miss Alison's parent & baby class. It offers the perfect blend of playtime and music education. Miss Alison always finds a way to go above and beyond and makes every class memorable.

    My 4-year-old is brand new to piano, and her journey with Mini Mozarts has been amazing. Her lessons include colours, fun characters, games, and easy to follow piano books; she is learning through play and building her confidence.

    I am so glad and thankful to have Miss Alison teach my girls the art of music."

    — Nathalie Lima, Parent
