Visiting "The Left Coast"
A number of West Coast Harps would-be-purchasers elect to visit Nanaimo and Victoria on Vancouver Island, have a few harp lessons with Alison, test play their desired harp, and partake in the fine dining and world class attractions available on the West Coast. Victoria BC is regularly rated in the top ten "must visit" locations in North America. Returning home with the perfect harp is simply a divine culmination for an already great trip.

She brings this depth of experience to her teaching where she adapts her teaching style to each of her student's needs. Alison has ten years of Conservatory [sight reading] training on the piano and this is well balanced with her previous experience as a regular Celtic harp [by ear] session musician for a decade. Alison seeks to foster independence in her students with an emphasis on creativity and self-learning. |
