A joyful and passionate graduate of Valparaiso University in music and theatre, I've spent over 8 years teaching piano, voice, and acting. I believe that learning should be a delightful adventure! With a Music Improv Conservatory degree from Second City and a rich background, including teaching at esteemed institutions like Chicago Children’s Theatre and Chicago Public Schools, I've inspired both young and adult learners in Chicago and Los Angeles. My theatrical footprint extends to film, commercials, and numerous theatre productions. Let's customize lessons to your aspirations and make music together in the most enjoyable way!
"Allison is so wonderful and patient with our 5 year old Chloe. Chloe lights up every time she seeds her and learning so much. Allison communicates very effectively, comes on time as promised, and is an all around delight. We highly recommend Allison to anyone wanting to learn the piano.


Hi! I’m Dean—a pianist, songwriter, and music producer from Seattle, Washington. I’ve been playing piano professionally for over 13 years and was fortunate to further my musical studies at Berklee College of Music in Boston. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a dual degree in Music Production & Engineering and Songwriting. During my time at Berklee, I had the privilege of studying piano under esteemed professors such as Laszlo Gardony and Alain Mallet. After graduation, I moved to Los Angeles to continue pursuing my musical career and share my knowledge with people just like you! I have experience in a wide range of styles, including pop, R&B, jazz, and classical. Additionally, I’ve spent years working with keyboards and synthesizers, developing a specialty in them—so if that’s your interest, I’ve got you covered there too! I’m incredibly passionate about music and teaching, and I’m genuinely excited to get to know you and help you on your musical journey!
"Dean has an immense, infectious passion for music and truly real talent. I’m always impressed by everything he creates- and I am confident he can pass all of this onto you as a mentor.
