About Me

Welcome! My name is Alison Maerker Garner, and I am the creator of Musical Minds. Musical Minds is an instrumental music learning curriculum for children and a holistic wellness program for musicians. As a violinist, pianist, teacher, educator and transformational coach, I integrate sensory experience and aesthetic response with deep learning and sustainable growth through music. My approach integrates the mind-body practices of Alexander and Feldenkrais, Somatic and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and NLP mindset development to nurture the individual’s natural ability to excel. YOU can learn the tools to trust your instincts, grow in your music and heal yourself.
