Alison received guidance and intensive teaching from Leslie Craven - the principal clarinetist of the Welsh National Opera Orchestra. Alison spent six months in Spain studying under the lead of Joan Enric Lluna, one of the top clarinettists in the world. Currently Alison is finishing her Masters Degree studying at Trinity College of Music in London.
