She enjoyed many years as a Kodaly classroom music education specialist across both primary and secondary schools before lecturing in Kodaly methodology for Kodaly Victoria and Kodaly NSW. Allison spent many years lecturing in choral conducting, aural training and music education at tertiary institutions including Victoria’s Monash University and Melba Conservatorium and Queensland’s University of Technology. She is active in the promotion and development of Australian choirs and quality music education and has fulfilled committee roles for Kodaly Victoria and the Australian National Choral Association. Allison is a sought after guest choral conductor and respected clinician and adjudicator at festivals and eisteddfods nationwide. She is particularly proud of her role in commissioning and premiering more than thirty new choral works to add to the body of Australian choral music. Allison has enjoyed creating numerous recordings of Australian choral music and many international tours as both choral accompanist and conductor. Upon moving to Sydney from Melbourne, she served as Director of Choral Education at Gondwana Choirs and continues her long association with this organisation through leading choirs at National Choral School. Allison has proudly served as the Musical Director of Choirs at SCEGGS’ Darlinghurst for the past twelve years and the co-conductor of the NSW Arts Unit’s Senior Singers since 2024. Her freelance work this year includes presenting for teacher professional development programs run by the Australian Youth Orchestra and Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
