About me

Hello everyone!

My name is Rebecca d’Alessio (Duh-less-ee-oh https://www.howtopronounce.com/dalessio). Students call me Ms. d'Alessio (or Dr. d'Alessio 😎). I am so happy to teach band at Lovonya DeJean Middle School 😍. I earned my Bachelor of Music Education and Clarinet Performance at Bradley University before completing my graduate studies at Arizona State University (M.M., D.M.A.). I served as Assistant Professor of Music at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay from 2002-2006 before moving back to my home state of California. I have performed and presented master classes in many states as well as in China and Turkey. I live in San Rafael with my husband and 9-year-old son.
