Let's Get Started!
Meet Your Director
​
Welcome! I'm Alison, the Director and Owner of Highlands Music Academy.
​
I'm so glad you're here!
Having personally taught hundreds of students myself and witnessed hundreds more through the academy, I know all about the commitment you're about to embark on with music lessons.
I started just like many of my students; first taking lessons in school then taking years of weekly private lessons. And through that time invested, I'm now able to share my music through teaching, creating my own music arrangements, and performing every week at weddings, events, and concerts. Plus, music is personally fulfilling, inspiring, and relaxing to me.
In January 2018, I officially took over Highlands Music Academy (then Notable Beginnings) with the goal to continue building upon what its previous owners started: always improving student experience, education, and nurturing every student's love of music.
​
The power of music is awe-inspiring. It can energize and motivate us, console a broken heart, make us contemplative and thoughtful, or calm an anxious mind. It's such a gift to be a musician.
I can't wait to hear the music you'll make!
​
Yours Truly,
