Faculty

SMA instructors have been educated in the finest colleges from our local Westminster Choir College in Princeton to the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz, Austria.



Ms. Donnetta Bishop Johnson

Director

 Donnetta Johnson is an avid lover of the arts. She has been a resident of the Hillsborough community for greater than fifteen years. Donnetta and her husband, John, have 3 children. Having grown up in New York City with a rich and steady diet of the arts through venues such as, The Brooklyn Academy of Music, Henry Street Theater, Broadway and Lincoln Center, as an arts reviewer for her school paper, Donnetta understood the power of beauty of the arts from an early age. While in college Ms. Bishop-Johnson worked at the American Craft Museum. One of the perks of working at the museum was full and unlimited access to the city’s other artistic centers such as, MOMA, The Metropolitan, etc.., of which she took full advantage of furthering her insight and love of the arts. In our community, Ms. Bishop-Johnson, along with the very talented staff of Allegra SMA and local supporters are working hard to provide a strong, thriving arts education center for students, teachers, and lovers of the Arts in our Community.

Ms. Rose Bishop

Studio Manager

 Mrs. Rose Bishop, affectionately known as "Miss Rose," is the person you'll likely speak to when you call Allegra SMA. Ms. Rose is a retired nurse and mother of five; Donnetta is the eldest. Ms. Rose is a strong component of Allegra’s customer care. Ms. Rose is responsible for making the match between student and instructor, and also maintains the schedules. Ms. Rose’s pleasant and helpful demeanor is a big plus for the Allegra SMA studio environment.
