Top rated violin and viola leader and educator with over 30 years of experience performing and teaching. Fun and relaxed approach. Studio or online teaching.

My 13 year old son has been taking violin lessons with Alison for the past four years. She’s a remarkable teacher and woman. She has a wonderfully timed, goofy sense of humor which resonated with my son. She has nurtured his love of the violin and introduced him to a variety of music genres, which he’s greatly enjoyed. Alison is patient and supportive. She is attentive and encouraging. And, she is always, always positive and kind. She instilled confidence in my son when he doubted himself, she pushed him to do his best and beyond what he thought he was capable of, and she gave him the most heartfelt talk when necessary to steer him back on course. She adjusted her approach to classes to meet challenges my son was having, always creative and always sensitive. She became as much a friend to my son (and our family) as a teacher. I highly recommend Alison to anyone, young and old, wanting a very talented and caring violin teacher.

My daughter has studied the violin with Ms Alison Black for 7 years from age 6. Alison is a very dedicated, patient and highly skilled violin teacher. She has an extraordinary gift for inspiring and guiding her students to fully realize and refine their musical talents.
