About Clare
Hello, I’m Allyson Clare- professional teacher and performer as a violinist, violist, mandolin player and pianist. I’ve been teaching for over twenty years. I’m highly trained and love passing on my knowledge to students of every level. My lessons are highly individualized, and my students tend to make very fast progress.
One of the things I love most about my current iteration of my studio are the recitals- we have recitals you can join in on every three months- this is a great opportunity to perform (online and in person currently) and learn from your peers. I also hold special presentations and events such as How To Practice Like A Pro afternoon hours free for my own students.
I have been a natural teacher and a professional one since quite an early age- I taught my younger sibling and others his age when I was about ten years old.
I have had incredible training- from San Francisco Conservatory of music, New England Conservatory of music, teachers Zaven Melikian, Camilla Wicks, Dimitri Murrath and many other world class soloists and chamber musicians. I feel so grateful to have this background which helps me provide a wonderful foundation for my students.

It's an intuitive process- empathizing with the student as they play, imagining this student playing completely freely and confidently, and drawing on all my knowledge to find the right image, insight, technical nuance, or method of practice to impart to get them closer to their goal.
My youngest student is five, my oldest in her eighties. Also experienced working with individuals on the autism spectrum, and students with ocd.
Take a look at the length of time a teacher has taught when you're selecting- some good performers don't have the patience to be great teachers and don't really invest in their students. Long time teachers tend to have natural aptitude and really care about their students.
Equally important, look at the teachers' education- not all teachers with aptitude for teaching in general have the musical and technical knowledge to help you progress. Even if you are playing as a hobby, I believe that the satisfaction of playing an instrument comes from making tangible improvements, and gaining confidence to be your own musician. A great teacher, like a great parent has the wisdom of having gone through all the stages, the ability to inspire and the desire to see their pupils come into their own.
A student recently sent me two videos, one of him playing a piece before he met me, one after working together for eleven months. The difference was striking, and I was so happy to see his pride in his progress!

Perfect! Hey, Allyson,
Super to hear from you. I hit the "going in an other direction" button by accident. I'm actually quite fine at the moment. I haven't been on the immunotherapy for over a month now and I still have another couple of weeks to go before I have to start up again.
The tumor has remained the same in some spots but has shrunk in other places which the Doctors are pleased with. However, Cancer has remission/regression cycles so what is is what is! Maybe I'll be strummin' the old mandolin again soon.
Dr. BarryPerfect! She’s energetic and encouraging.
Perfect! She's fun and high-energy and funny and highly knowledgeable.
Perfect! I came to Allyson after years of not playing, and within 20 minutes she had me playing better than I had when I DID play. Insightful, knowledgeable, SUPER helpful -- and did I mention fun? She's a champion for students. And the best teacher I've ever had. So glad to find her on here.
Perfect! her knowledge and enthusiasm
Perfect! Attention to the details and techniques
Helps build strong foundation
Very nice and friendly person, learning is funPerfect! Allyson is very patient and has many ways to explain how to correct an issue.
Perfect! Allyson is an excellent teacher. She is able to hone in on a student’s weaknesses and address them properly. She is very professional and has a great personality. As a musician she is first rate and if she is telling her student to do something, she can do it 10x better.
Perfect! She is an excellent violist and her tips and training are extraordinarily precise. She starts you at Level 0 and you begin to learn viola technique the RIGHT way! I am discovering my own sound and the drama of my instrument for the first time. Playing one note (without vibrato) is now more memorable than playing an entire piece and using vibrato.
A+ teacher.Perfect! she’s awesome, she’s always willing to help and has a creative way of teaching!
