Ocean of Sound is a brilliant resource for anyone wishing to explore the truly bottomless ocean of bhakti. -Sri Devi Melissa Urey
Allison has helped me fall more into love with Indian music, and has taught me things that have helped me better understand how to play it more skillfully myself. I've had a harmonium for ten years, but now I really understand so much more about chanting and playing and I'm excited to keep learning more as I dig into the music library packed full of songs to learn! - Paula Crossfield

I completed Allison's Ocean of Sound music course and have studied with her one-on-one as well.
Having never been a "musical person", Allison gave me the confidence and support to open up my heart and to try something totally new. I am convinced that everyone has access to this music inside of them, if they are interested in learning and have the good fortune of finding the right teacher.
After just a few short sessions with Allison I was able to play simple songs, understand the basics of scales and "write" music in a format that makes sense. I am still amazed at what I can do. - Amanda Sweeney

Allison is a very kind and encouraging teacher. I had tried taking harmonium lessons through an online site and realized something was missing but I couldn't figure it out. Allison was able to fill in the missing pieces and explain how to properly play the harmonium. In addition to being a master at the harmonium, she has a deep wealth of knowledge about Hindu mythology which really brings the chants to life.
