Alannah began learning the harp at the age of eight and three years later was awarded a scholarship to attend the Victorian College Of The Arts Secondary School, studying with Julie Raines (Principal Harp, MSO).

In 2002 she won an entrance scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music in London where she studied with Skaila Kanga and Charlotte Seale.
