About Ashley
I am a freelance musician in the area who teaches violin, viola, and piano. I have been trained to teach the Suzuki method but I am also passionate about teaching bluegrass and fiddle music if the student is interested (I used to be in a bluegrass band for a few years). I take an approach of teaching the student how to play by ear but also how to read music early on. I've been private teaching for around 7 years and frequently sub with the NC Symphony, play for weddings, nursing homes, and various other places in the triangle. I've also had experience teaching String orchestra at Cardinal Gibbons High School, Saint Raphaels School, and Our Lady of Lourdes School.
I love working with kids and I love to see them progress and have fun while they learn! I love incorporating games into teaching and I especially love watching the joy on kids' faces when they create their on music!
My website is: ashleymusicstudio.musicteachershelper.com. You can also check out some YouTube performances by searching for Ashley Kovacs violin!
I've been teaching since high school because I've always had a passion for working with children. I was a counselor at a local music camp and that really sparked the love for teaching that I pursued n college and behind!
I have been playing the violin for around 21 years and have also took piano for around 5 years. I can play/read the viola clef (alto clef) as well and can play cello at an intermediate level based on my Strings education. I went to the University of Michigan and studied Violin Performance and Music Education. I have also freelanced since after college in the area and have perofrmed frequently with the NC Symphony, Chamber Orchestra of the Triangle, Raleigh Symphony orchestra, numberous weddings/church services, and nursing homes. I also played in a bluegrass band for two years called Swift Creeek!

I offer a free trial lesson to see if the student would be a good fit for me and me for them. I then try to get to know the child and their individual needs and based on that show them in that lesson what we'd be working on for the future.
I've worked with students as young as 3 years old to adults. Home school students, traditional school, or year-round students. Students with no prior experience and students with many years of experience.
i would take a few trial lessons to see who is a good fit for your child. You will most likely have the teacher for a few years so it's good to see what types of phiosophies teachers have regarding reading music, learning by ear, expectations for practicing, and/or flexibility with scheduling.
I conducted at a music camp at Meredith College called Lamar Stringfield Music Camp and loved getting to perform with the kids. We even had dads volunteer to dance for Father's Day to one of the songs we played!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What type of music are you interested in learning how to play? Are you a visual or auditory learner? Do you enjoy doing things more in groups or individually? What are your goals for learning music?

Perfect! Ashley opened my eyes to the fact that not all violin lessons had to aim for classical/orchestral music. Since I am a lone player, I really don't need to e ready to perform with a string quartet (or worse!)
Perfect! Ashley has a GREAT ATTITUDE about teaching. She is very gentle with her students and is able to assess the students ability. When it was time for me to purchase a new violin, Ashley went with me to try them out to make sure I had the best information and could make the best possible decision. She did the same thing when it was time to purchase a new bow. I would say that she has demonstrated an excellence in teaching that is rare these days. She never gets upset if I am not where I should be from lesson to lesson. Each lesson she re-evaluates my progress and focuses in on trouble areas. I am able to see almost immediate improvement. I even hired her to teach my son piano lessons...that is how impressed we are with her. She is AWESOME!! I would recommend her to any student young or old!!!
