Words of Praise
“It has been my pleasure to work with Allie as her teacher at Belmont University first in her undergraduate studies and currently in her pursuit of a Master’s of Music degree. She has been an integral part of the top Jazz Big Band at Belmont for the past several years where she has contributed as an excellent keyboardist and over the past two years, as a talented arranger. In addition, she has studied composition and arranging with me and has grown to be exceptional in many genres including Contemporary Christian, Jazz, Fusion, Pop, Commercial, and much more! Allie is extremely creative and has never been satisfied with average work but continues with each project to stretch her abilities. The results are easy to hear in her many recordings. She is a joy with which to work and a tenacious learner that will continue to grow and create more and more exciting musical works. I am proud of her and cannot wait to see what she will do next! If you have not experienced a listening journey into the recorded and live performances from Allie, do not wait one more minute. I guarantee you an exciting experience!”
Jeff Kirk, Professor – Belmont University School of Music Nashville, TN
“Allie’s new recording is a hymn lovers delight! From the cinematic strains of “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” to the powerful chords of “My Tribute,” Allie’s musicianship and mastery of the keyboard is demonstrated to the highest level! One would never fathom that a 16 year old could play with such depth and feeling and precision! I’ve already listened to her stunning rendition of “Wonderful Grace of Jesus” over 20 times and can’t wait to hear it in person in a few weeks! You’ll be blessed as you listen to her latest recording as her love of hymns shines through in her playing, dedication, and love of piano playing has reached a new high!”
Steve Coldiron, Composer, Arranger, and Orchestrator – Four Walls Music Gainesville, GA
“I look forward to each new song that Allie releases. Her music is truly captivating, and encourages the listener to join her in worship as she gives honor and glory to God. She plays with musical maturity: her expression and phrasing are beautiful. I can’t think of another piano solo artist that is as dedicated to her craft at such a young age as Allie. Her music is sure to be a blessing to you — just as it is to me!”
Dawayne Stamper, Arranger
“I had the pleasure of recording Allie Heard’s latest CD project. Allie is not only a fine pianist, but also at her young age already a seasoned professional musician. Her sense of dynamics and song interpretation is advanced far beyond her years. To top it all off, she’s a nice person to work with. There are big things in her future.”
Martin Kearns, Engineer – Down In Deep Atlanta, GA
Verse of the Day
“It is not fame that I desire, nor stature in my brother’s eye, I pray it’s said about my life, that I lived more to build Your name than mine.”
