"Ashley is a wonderful teacher. She inspired my daughter to love playing the piano again. Ashley is understanding and patient with her students, yet expects hard work. My daughters were willing to practice and be prepared for their lessons due to Ashley's influence. I highly recommend Carter Piano Studio."

"Ashley is a dedicated, passionate piano teacher. My daughter, Abbey, always looked forward to her lessons. Ashley provided positive encouragement and I never heard complaining regarding her weekly practice lessons. Ashley had a sticker system where they were able to earn a song sheet once the student reached a certain goal. This really helped motivate Abbey. Ashley also held recitals where the students were able to choose their music and show off their accomplishments. Overall, it was a very positive experience."

"I love Ashley Carter! She is a very kind and understanding piano teacher. She's patient and great at meeting each student's needs. While I was with her studio l learned how to perfect each piece we worked on and, I learned effective ways to practice. Ashley helped me solidify my knowledge of notes and scales. The piano recitals weren't stressful or nerve racking because we had been well prepared. Taking piano lessons from Ashley was a turning point in my piano career. It marked the first point where I actually started to understand the piano and was able to improve. I highly recommend Carter Piano Studio!"

"As parents of a beginner piano student, we had high hopes for our daughter. To our delight, the lessons and development that Annie received from Ashley exceeded even our expectations! We wanted our daughter to learn piano skills and be pushed to do her best, but more importantly, we wanted her to have a fun and positive experience that would give her a lifelong love and appreciation for music. We were thrilled with Annie’s experience over the three years she had lessons with Ashley! Ashley was sincerely interested in our daughter as a person as well as a piano student. Each week, Annie came home from her lesson feeling happy and encouraged to do better. She expressed a sense of responsibility to be sure she practiced and was ready for her next lesson. We loved that Ashley made it easy for our daughter to keep track of her own songs and practice schedule. Ashley truly fostered a sense of excitement about learning to play the piano and the importance of good practice. She was the perfect mix of professionalism, fun and focus for our family. We wish we could sign our other kids up for lessons with Ashley today!"
