At the early age of 6, she was introduced to the pianoforte by her musical cousins. She Started taken lessons with Sr. Lidwina Mary Cauchi LRSM OSA and at the age of seven. And after sat for her first exam with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, obtaining immediately the highest grade in School. In 1995 she switched college and sat for exams with the London College of Music.
At the age of 16, Alison passed from her diploma examination which gave her the right to use the letters A.L.C.M., meaning Associated in the London College of Music. After this, she have chosen to attend to classes for more professional techniques, at Mro.Pawlu Grech.
In 2010, Alison have completed a three-year course at the University of Malta, obtaining an upper second class in B.A. Hons, specialising in musicology, under the tuition of Dr. Mro. John Galea.
During my musical studies, she took part in extra activities to put this art in practice. She joined the St. Monica Choir, a four voice choir made up of 70 members. she got selected as the voice leader of the altos section and also the official pianist of this choir.
This gave her the opportunity to play in many concerts in Malta, as well as in foreign countries, including Spain and Budapest. she played in many churches and festivities around Malta and also in the Mediterranean Conference Centre, where took part in the 11th International Choir Festival and won the Gold Award. And also took part in the Olympic Choir Festival in Linz, Austria and won the Bronze Award.
In 2007, Alison joined the Amadeus Choir, under the direction of Brian Cefai. He selected her to be his assistant, and he gave her space to reshuffle and organise the setting of his choir. Once again, she was in charge of the alto section and she accompanied this choir in a few concerts, together with the orchestra.
Between 2007 and 2010, Alison took part in several other choirs, mainly singing in the alto section. These choirs were Voices (2008), The Mirabitur Choir, under the direction of Simone Attard, Chorus Urbanus of Gozo, directed by Dr. Mro. John Galea, Collegium Musicum of Dr. Mro.

In 2013, she have participated in singing ‘The Peacemakers’ under the direction of Karl Jenkins, the composer himself. I have lately joined the Goldberg Ensemble, a small choir under the direction of Mro.Michael Laus, and she is honoured to be singing with some of the best musicians and singers in the island. We are now participating in the Baroque Festival, performing the Messiah from Handel.
She have been accompanying professional singers, such as Anna Azzopardi, Louis Cassar, Joseph Aquilina, Debbie Scerri, Tiziana Calleja and Glen Vella, in wedding masses and receptions.
Between 2010 and 2013, Alison was a music teacher with FM Theatre Production, better known as Stage Coach. There, my classes consisted of around 17 students where she taught fundamentals in music and how to incorporate singing in musical theatre, as this is the aim of the school. Whilst keeping in mind the high standards of the three subjects of the school (music, dance and drama), we, the teachers at Stage Coach did our utmost to give the students a good time and let them have fun.
Alison have been giving piano and theory lessons at her residence since 2008. She give individual lessons to children as well as adults, offering them the possibility to choose whether to sit for examinations or not. Most of her students who sat for examinations with the London College have obtained Distinctions, as they prove their talent and enthusiasm in this art.
