Hi my name is Alissa DuChane.  I am a 20-year-old audio engineering student currently being mentored by Dan Green at Amerisound Recording Studios in Columbus, Ohio.  I am extremely excited to be working with Dan because he seems to be very accepting of all music.  I can relate to that because I am willing to experience any genre of music and I constantly seek out new artists and bands.

     To put it simply, I enjoy listening to good music.  If a song has a great sound and an amazing vocalist I’m probably bobbing my head and tapping my foot along with the beat.  My music taste ranges from pop to alternative to classic rock to country.

     When I was four years old I took piano lessons, but I really didn’t learn anything about the piano until I was 17 and had a keen interest on teaching myself how to play.  Throughout my learning I realized that I have an ear for music.  I can hear a song on the radio and figure out the sequence of notes that a specific portion of that song is and then play it.  Just like the piano I taught myself to play the guitar, using a chord dictionary I found at a used bookstore.  I also use ultimateguitar.com and Garage Band on my Mac to help sharpen my abilities.

     I am excited to prepare myself for a career in the music industry.  I look forward to continuously learning and improving my abilities in order to be as successful as I can in the music industry.
