Testimonials

“When I arrived at Alliance University’s School of Music in spring of 2012, I certainly could not anticipate all the loved and support that I would receive throughout my college career. As a budding singer in the highly competitive world of classical music, I expected the atmosphere to be cutthroat and volatile to anyone who didn’t have their life together, and I surely didn’t have my life together. Instead, I was surprised to find comfort and support under the leadership of Dr. Sue and Dana Talley, who went out of their way to ensure that my college career would be as smooth and successful as possible. I found a second mother in my vocal instructor, Williana Mack, as she covered me with her prayers and tough love. And the icing on the cake: I was surrounded by a multitude of peers from all walks of life, all willing to love and pray for one another and learn from each other. I cannot promise that one’s college career will be without obstacles, but I can say that ALliance University’s School of Music is a great place to overcome those hurdles and grow academically, spiritually, and musically.”

“Alliance University is more than just my Alma Mater; it represents change, hope, and a spiritual home. I came to Alliance University NYC as an inexperienced young man who didn’t really know which career path to choose, but I had an ardent desire to serve God and touch people. During my three years at the school I made lifelong friends, experienced God’s power through music and service and became a better man. There are many conservatories that can teach one to become a musician, but few places will teach to become a light, a mentor, a servant and messenger, and a man of faith at the same time.”
