Hi there!
My name is Ashley Cline and I'm a musician and entrepreneur. I decided to open Sunrise Prelude Piano Studios because of my passion for music and teaching. With over a decade of piano experience and performances each year, I’m excited to inspire and teach aspiring musicians. I have picked up more instruments over the years, and these are some that have stayed with me up until now: voice, ukulele, and guitar.
My Sunrise into Teaching Piano
I first picked up the piano at six years old, and music has been a part of my life ever since. Over the years, I grew through lessons, practice, and plenty of ups and downs. Sometimes I practiced consistently, and other times I struggled to stay motivated. But through it all, I found that piano was something I always came back to.
​
In March 2023, I felt the pull to begin teaching. What started as a simple idea quickly became something I loved and did not want to stop. Teaching has given me a whole new way to grow as a musician while inspiring others to discover the joy of music for themselves.
​
That is why I chose the name Sunrise Prelude Piano Studios. To me, each student is like a sunrise, beginning their musical journey and full of hidden potential that slowly reveals itself in brilliant color. The word prelude means “an introduction to something more important.” Just as every sunrise is the beginning of a beautiful new day, every piano lesson is a prelude to something greater in a student’s musical life.
​
I believe learning is a lifelong journey, so I continue to study and grow in my own musicianship through private lessons, music theory classes, online courses, and dedicated practice. My goal is to share the love, skill, and knowledge I have gained over the years and empower my students to shine brightly in their own unique way.
