Bernadette Ashby is as close to the perfect teacher as you can get. She gave me the keys to unlocking the ability to express myself musically and encouraged in me a true and great love for music, which has changed my life. Her passion, compassion, understanding, love, support, encouragement, responsibility, and joy are among the list of things that make her so special and truly inspiring. Without a doubt, Bernadette Ashby is the best, and most important, teacher I have ever had.

My son took piano from Bernie for several years beginning at age 9. I was amazed at how quickly he took to the program. A non-traditional program, my son learned to play songs by rote and by tactile reinforcement. He learned chords, accompaniment and was encouraged to create compositions and do improvisation. I know that Bernie gave him a solid musical foundation and fostered a love of learning music through her piano classes. My son is now a music performance major (violin) at a prestigious music conservatory.

I always wanted to learn piano, but did not know where to start. I found Mrs. Ashby on the internet a couple of years ago and have been enjoying her classes ever since. She makes the classes fun and interesting without overwhelming the student. I am thankful to get to have her as my teacher and excited about learning more piano. Highly recommend to any and all ages.

My daughter and I both have the pleasure of taking piano lessons with Bernadette. I have enjoyed watching my daughter thrive in Bernadette’s studio and continue piano lessons for over 4 years. The play based approach that Bernadette uses as been engaging and encouraging for my daughter. I too, have benefited from Bernadette’s expertise. She has been a fabulous teacher both in person and virtually. Bernadette and the Simply Music curriculum have provided a way for me to learn piano as an adult and enjoy it! I have fun playing piano daily and growing in my discipline!
