Hi, I'm Ashley Danyew

Musician and educator based in Rochester, NY. My mission is to help church musicians lead, teach, and inspire others creatively and confidently.

I have an M.M. and Ph.D. in Music Education and a Certificate in Arts Leadership from the Eastman School of Music and over 15 years of church music experience: everything from starting and directing children's and adult choirs to building a handbell choir program, accompanying services on the piano and organ to planning worship and overseeing the administration of a music program.

Now, I want to share what I've learned and help you plan, direct, and teach children on a weekly basis and grow your choir ministry. Excited to meet you inside the course!
