“Ms. Ashley has been an excellent teacher for my six-year-old son and me. We're both beginners, and Ms. Ashley has adopted two distinct teaching styles to account for the differences between adults and children. She is patient and creative, and my son and I both enjoy our lessons. I'm pleased with our progress, and it's been especially fun to learn the accompaniments to some of the songs my son is learning so we can play duets together.”

“What a huge difference a teacher makes! My boys love coming to Ms. Ashley. She makes it fun and leaves plenty of room for creativity. I sit in on all lessons and just love seeing the interactions and how far along they’ve come. I also love the fact that she hosts local recitals for the kids.  Ashley really knows how to make my boys feel confident about what they are learning. I can’t recommend her enough!”

—Ashley C.

“My six year-old son loves the way Ms. Ashley keeps things interesting for him. She spends an age-appropriate amount of time on the different aspects of her curriculum during the lessons: from the Piano Safari course; to sight-reading cards; to getting on the floor to play rhythms on a drum; to improvising; to composing, etc... It feels great to leave the lesson with your kid excited about learning to play an instrument, and Ashley’s approach has kept my son engaged and motivated. Not an easy task for an energetic first grader!”

“Ashley is such a wonderful piano teacher for all ages. My 8-yr old daughter and I both take lessons with Ashley and she is able to engage and challenge us both. She is very organized, extremely talented, and a pleasure to be around. We leave every lesson with a smile on our face.”

“Ashley Wilson’s piano studio provides a nurturing musical environment for young musicians … She uses child-friendly methods to achieve her warm and dynamic teaching. Ashley guides students while allowing for them to also engage with improvisation and composition if they wish. Her home studio is a warm, clean environment free of distraction where parents can choose to drop their child off or stay and watch in a comfortable chair. She keeps young children easily engaged when distracted. Her selection of piano literature is child-centered and keeps it fun while remaining educational. She offers recitals, which are both simple and sweet in nature as well as low-stress for students and parents alike. I have enjoyed my daughter’s time learning with Miss Ashley, and we are beginning our third season with her this Fall.”

—Sandy G.

“Ashley is an amazing piano teacher.  She has a calm, gentle, kind energy. Her home studio is safe, clean and very relaxing. You can either stay and watch the lesson or drop your child off … Ashley has many attributes but my personal favorite is that she encourages her students to participate in piano festivals and recitals that are available throughout the year. This is key in setting goals that will ultimately challenge the student to get better. My daughter adores her and is flourishing under her teaching.  I highly recommend her!” —Liana L.

“How many adults walk around regretting that they quit music lessons? I did, too! Especially while waiting on my daughter to finish her piano lessons. So I started taking lessons with Ashley Wilson myself. First, my daughter has her lesson and then I have mine, back-to-back. When I first started, I had already had many opportunities to watch Ashley with my child and already knew how awesome she was at teaching children, but it was a joy to realize how great a teacher she was to me as well. Piano lessons and practicing piano quickly became the best part of my week. I love going to lessons and listening to my daughter's progres and then having my own lesson and seeing my growth. I especially love when Ashley teaches us duets that we can play together, these are our favorites to practice at home! If you have ever wanted to learn to play piano, take it from me, you are never too old and Ashley is an excellent teacher to meet you where you are.”

—Christelle D.

“Working with Ashley is a true pleasure for both me as the parent and for my son, her student. My child absolutely loves how nice Ashley is and how much fun she makes every lesson. I highly recommend Ashley for anyone seeking a talented, professional and beyond-kind piano teacher.”

—Jefferson T.

“My son is excited about piano lessons every week. Ashley shows genuine interest in finding innovative and individual strategies to teach in a way that makes sense for my son. He enjoys practicing at home and looks forward to spending time with Ashley.”

—David W.

“My 7 year-old daughter has taken lessons with Ashley for over a year and looks forward to it every week.  Ashley is patient, kind, encouraging, and makes learning piano fun.  We are so grateful to Ashley for not only the lessons, but the opportunities she provides throughout the year to perform and experience recitals.  I highly recommend Ashley for anyone wanting a friendly environment to learn or improve their piano skills.” —Anne E.

“My son has been taking lessons with Ashley for over 7 months and we have had a wonderful experience. She is extremely patient and works well with my son with a calm, caring demeanor. She uses creative techniques to make the lessons fun and keep my son engaged. She is great about keeping me updated on his progress and how I can assist with his learning at home. We are so glad we found her and would highly recommend her for both kids and adults.”

—Kelsey G.

“I’ve been taking lessons with Ashley for about five months ... Ashley has been a very patient and communicative teacher and I am proud of the progress I have made so far. She really focuses on how to practice at home so that I don’t feel overwhelmed during the limited time I have to practice. Piano lessons with Ashley have been a wonderful experience and I highly recommend her!”

—Kathryn M.

“Liam has thoroughly enjoyed working with Ashley. He always says he has a good time after his lesson, and he has gotten more and more excited about practicing at home. The rote pieces are very interesting and fun, and they open the door for further creativity. Ashley is very welcoming when Liam arrives and tailors the lesson to his learning abilities. She also provides detailed notes after every lesson, which helps me assist Liam during practice. Thank you, Ashley, for being a great piano teacher!”
