Alyssa is truly such an inspiring and helpful person to work with as a teacher. She knows her instrument so well, like it's a close friend she has known for years, and is so easy to feel comfortable with as a student. She's helping me develop a more personal relationship with how I perform and how compose that feels more like an extension of who I am. I am more well-rounded, confident, and equipped to engage with new musical challenges because of our time together each week. I cannot recommend her enough.
