Teaching style

Play-based, multidisciplinary, explorative, sound explorations, Reggio-inspired. Allie's presents art, pedagogy and play as interconnected experiences; combining the use of new media and the Reggio Emilia approach. Alanna's uses a multi-modal approach in S.T.E.A.M education which has been facilitated through galleries and schools. Her vision to make the world a better place frequently aligns with organizations who invest in music, art and technology programs for young age groups; children must be inspired and empowered to create a better future.

Additional biographical information

I’m Allie. It’s so nice to meet you! I specialize in age-appropriate early childhood resources and educational programming. To quench my insatiable appetite for creative connection, I work as a community-engaged new media artist with galleries and schools, and perform in the noise/electronic music scene. I am passionate about creating more engaging learning resources for music education and shifting the power in learning art and music back to the innately creative child.
