Alana is a graduate of Sherwood School of Music, and the Detroit Institute of Musical Arts.  As a Jazz Student, studied with one of the greatest  jazz teachers, Bud Conway.

She was asked to carry on his work resulting
in the Music and You web site. 

Her Books are very popular with piano teachers and are included  the line up at such colleges as Irvine College, and used in many teaching arenas.

Alana is a classicaly trained jazz, recording artist and arranger, and teacher and has taken her own experiences learning piano and applied them to the online lessons. Her professional career is now an asset to all students who are studying with Music and You.  Most advanced teachers do not teach beginning lessons, and that is why it is so important to her to teach this course online.

She has been an arranger for many artists and music theater, but over the
last 4 years have been giving all of my efforts to writing the piano lessons for Music and You.  At this time, she is preparing  a new CD with her chamber orchestra and singer Darci Daniels.  The works will include many original songs, genre in blues and jazz. 

Her studio work, and internet music is recorded on a Yamaha Piano.
Yamaha has been very generous in providing pianos for her performances.

Alana produced and recorded in first Christmas CD in 2005, which has
been played on many radio stations in Texas, Arizona and California.
