If she doesn't already know it - she sight reads like a dream! You need to have her as your accompanist. Just ask her...she'll tell you herself!" - Michael Misko "Ashley takes the time to not only to play for you, which she does beautifully, but to work with your performance of the piece as well. She has extensive knowledge of musical genres, composers, and shows and can play anything from Kander & Ebb to Sondheim (like she did while working with me). She's a positive reinforcement to your skills and talents, but still has an educated opinion and critique for what works and what doesn't in auditions and performance! She creates a fun & friendly atmosphere, with no judgement, which gives you the freedom to explore and create great art! I would HIGHLY recommend Ashley to any friends or peers looking to work their repertoire book, or discover new pieces!" - Greg Pragel "Ashley is one of the most compassionate, professional, and down-to-business accompanists I have worked with.
