ALLISON ALLEN'S PIANO STUDIO
A piano teacher in Gilbert, Arizona, I have over 20 years of teaching experience. I specialize in
beginner to late-intermediate levels, with individual weekly 30 minute lessons. I have availability
both during and after school hours, and am an ESA vendor.
ABOUT ME
I began taking piano lessons at the age of 5, continuing through my freshman year of college.
I participated in the National Piano Playing Auditions for 13 years, as well as many festivals, and earned the High School Diploma Award from the National Guild of Piano Teachers my senior year of high school.
I graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in Secondary Education: Biology,
but I have discovered that teaching music is my true passion.
​
Teaching piano lessons for over 20 years, I enjoy not only helping my students learn to read music
and develop technique, but to gain a lifelong love of music.
STUDIO POLICIES
2025-26 School Year
Weekly 30 minute lessons begin the week of August 4 and conclude the week of May 18. 2026 summer lessons will then be scheduled on a week by week basis, at the rate of $24/lesson. No lessons will be held during the following weeks, following my children’s school schedule:
​
Week of Oct 6 (one week of Fall Break)
Week of Nov 24 (one week of Thanksgiving Break)
Weeks of Dec 22 and 29 (two weeks of Christmas Break)
Week of Mar 16 (one week of Spring Break)
Lesson Schedule: I have reserved space for your child with the understanding that we will have a lesson each week at that time. If a permanent conflict arises with this lesson time, please feel free to contact me to discuss alternate arrangements. I am happy to work with you to ensure a weekly lesson time that complements both of our schedules.
Payment: Tuition from August to May is $90 per month, due the first lesson of the month (beginning in August). You may pay through Venmo (@Allison-Allen-26), check, or cash. If using ESA funds and paying through Class Wallet, I will email an invoice each month that you can submit.
*Note, there are 37 lessons during the school year, which averages to about $24 per lesson
Missing Lessons: No payment credit or refund will be given for lessons missed by students. Please understand that the tuition you pay reserves a specific weekly time in my schedule for your child. You are paying for your lesson time, not for your attendance. I request that you notify me in advance if your child will be missing a lesson for any reason. Make-up lessons or time adjustments may be made at my discretion.
If I must cancel lessons due to illness or emergency, a reasonable effort to schedule a make-up lesson will be made. If a make-up lesson cannot be scheduled, the student will be given a credit on the following month’s tuition at the rate of $24 per missed lesson.
Practicing: Regular piano practice (5 days a week) is essential to progression. Your child will get more out of lessons and your money will be better spent through regular practice. Schedule a time for practice in your daily routine. You may consider creating a chart and incentives if that helps. A general rule of thumb is that beginners should practice for 10-15 minutes. Students who have been playing longer should practice 15-20 minutes daily. Intermediate students should practice for at least 30 minutes.
Recitals: Mark your calendars! Studio recitals will be held at Next Gen Recital Hall, 1818 E. Southern Ave, Suite 5, in Mesa. Recitals are a wonderful opportunity for students to work toward a goal and showcase their progress, and I highly encourage your child to participate.
Fall Recital–November 22, 2025 at 3 pm
Spring Recital–April 25, 2026 at 12 pm
I look forward to teaching your child this year and sharing my love of music! Please let me know if you have any questions.
