Perfect! Hey, Allyson,
Super to hear from you. I hit the "going in an other direction" button by accident. I'm actually quite fine at the moment. I haven't been on the immunotherapy for over a month now and I still have another couple of weeks to go before I have to start up again.
The tumor has remained the same in some spots but has shrunk in other places which the Doctors are pleased with. However, Cancer has remission/regression cycles so what is is what is! Maybe I'll be strummin' the old mandolin again soon.

Perfect! She’s energetic and encouraging.

Perfect! She's fun and high-energy and funny and highly knowledgeable.

Perfect! I came to Allyson after years of not playing, and within 20 minutes she had me playing better than I had when I DID play. Insightful, knowledgeable, SUPER helpful -- and did I mention fun? She's a champion for students. And the best teacher I've ever had. So glad to find her on here.

Perfect! her knowledge and enthusiasm

Perfect! Attention to the details and techniques
Helps build strong foundation
Very nice and friendly person, learning is fun

Perfect! Allyson is very patient and has many ways to explain how to correct an issue.

Perfect! Allyson is an excellent teacher. She is able to hone in on a student’s weaknesses and address them properly. She is very professional and has a great personality. As a musician she is first rate and if she is telling her student to do something, she can do it 10x better.

Perfect! She is an excellent violist and her tips and training are extraordinarily precise. She starts you at Level 0 and you begin to learn viola technique the RIGHT way! I am discovering my own sound and the drama of my instrument for the first time. Playing one note (without vibrato) is now more memorable than playing an entire piece and using vibrato.

A+ teacher.

Perfect! she’s awesome, she’s always willing to help and has a creative way of teaching!
