Quick Answers to Your Questions
How does the Video Exchange® system work?
You can record yourself playing a lesson and submit it for Allison to review. She’ll send back a personalized video response with tips and guidance. These exchanges are added to the library, so you’ll also benefit from seeing how she coaches other students.
Do I have to be an intermediate or advanced player to join?
Not at all! Lessons are organized for all levels—from beginners learning the Nashville Number System to advanced students advancing through inversions and beyond. You’ll progress at your own pace and can revisit lessons anytime.
Can I learn at my own pace?
Yes! All lessons are available on-demand, so you can move as quickly or as slowly as you like. There are no deadlines or required class times.
