ALLISON OLIVER
Allison grew up in northwest Austin, attending school in Round Rock ISD. Upon graduation, she entered the School of Music at Texas State University in San Marcos where she continued studies in piano performance while completing coursework for a degree in music with certification in elementary and choral music education.
While in college, she sang with the Women's Choir, University Singers and Chorale. She also served as accompanist for vocal, band, and orchestra majors, as well as the Women's Choir. In the summer of 2005, she had the opportunity to tour with the Texas State Chorale, singing in performances in Budapest, Vienna, Salzburg, and Prague.
After receiving her bachelor's degree, Allison began her public school teaching career, teaching ten years of elementary music and six years of middle school piano classes. Allison has served as accompanist for the Tapestry Singers, various middle and high school choral performances, Palm Valley Lutheran Church Choir, and First United Methodist Church in Round Rock.
She currently teaches small-group singing classes with Lulu's Piano Studio, serves as the long-term guest educator for choir at Walsh Middle School, and works as a freelance accompanist for choral contests and performances. Outside of music, Allison finds joy in fitness (holding a certification in personal training and corrective exercise through NASM), time spent with her dachshund, and nature.
