ALLYSON KATANA

Musical Arts Mentor

As a former Spy Hop Alumni, I’m excited to be teaching all the classes that changed my life over a decade ago! If you see me in the hallways, please say hi—I love chatting, meeting new people, and getting new music recommendations.

I’ve worked on all sides of the music industry, from selling records and music gear, to booking/promoting concerts and events at local venues, and even performing as a touring musician. I play bass, guitar, piano, sing, and am currently working on improving my skills with the drums and cello.

Our classes are designed for in-person participation. Limited remote attendance may be possible in certain circumstances. Availability depends on the class format and is considered on a case-by-case basis.
Absolutely! Many of our students self-identify as neurodivergent. We keep our classes small so that our students have the best experience possible, and our professional teaching artists can accommodate different kinds of learners and ensure special needs are met.
We keep all our classroom spaces an adult/parent-free zone (excluding staff) to ensure students feel free in their creative expression. If you'd like to see the building and learn more about Spy Hop, you can schedule a tour with our team outside of class time.

We've found that small program sizes give the best opportunity for creative learning and mentorship—because of this, most of our classes have a capacity of ten students.
Most of our in-house programs are for ages 12–19 years old. We occasionally offer programs or workshops for young people ages 19-25. We offer spring and summer camps for younger kids ages 8-12.
