Imagine getting to play the part of music that makes people dance. With 18 years of experience, I provide personalized guidance, helping you master techniques and unleash your musicality. Let's groove! I have been performing as a bassist for over 18 years, and teaching for over ten years. As an instructor, I meet students where they are and tailor my teaching approach accordingly. Lessons are collaborative; I want to get to know each student and your individual goals and learning style in order to create an open and comfortable learning environment. My extensive musical background allows you to choose music YOU like to play, and through each song we will work on specific technical, harmonic, and rhythmic concepts. I use my experience as an active working musician to inform the lessons and ground everything you learn in real-world application. About me: I tour the US and internationally with Future Teens, an indie rock band with over three LPs on our resume. Future Teens has been featured on NPR, The Boston Globe, and WBUR, and was Boston Music Awards’ 2019 Alt/Indie Artist of the Year. I studied bass performance at Berklee College of Music, where I earned the Bass Department Outstanding Performer Award and Scholarship. I have a BA in English and French from Skidmore College (‘13). I have worked with students between the ages of six and sixty and welcome students of all ages.

If you want to improve your skills in a supportive environment, I recommend giving Maya’s lessons a try. It’s a great way to build confidence and have fun playing guitar! 🎸


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!

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.
