All About Ansley
My musical journey started at age 4 when my mom signed me up for piano lessons, hoping I’d fall in love with music. And she was right! I began with Let’s Play Music, enjoying weekly group lessons that taught me the basics of piano. As my passion grew, I picked up the cello too. Music quickly became my dream, and now I get to live that dream every day!
When I’m not playing music, I love crocheting, reading, journaling, traveling, and spending time with family. I have many hobbies that keep me busy when I’m not working or practicing. Working with kids has always been a big part of my life—I've been babysitting since I was 10, worked in a preschool/daycare, and now work with toddlers at a Montessori school. I bring that same enthusiasm for kids into my music lessons, making sure each one is personalized to help every child thrive. I’m constantly learning and growing, and I’m so excited to help others discover the joy of music!
