Ashley Mikita

I have been involved with music since childhood and one of 

my favorite things to do as a kid was sit at the piano and 

make up songs or figure out how to play my favorite songs. 

Aside from self-study, I have taken piano and voice lessons 

and have participated in choral ensembles from middle school to 

the collegiate level. I am currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree 

in jazz studies with emphasis in vocal performance and music education. 

I’m excited to be a part of the S.P. Music School team and help my students learn 

and find joy in music!

Carol Chen 

I grew up in a family where music is a part of our everyday life, with everyone 

playing at least one instrument. I've been playing music for over 10 years and have 

performed in concerts and recitals, both solo as well as in group symphonies. My main 

musical focus has typically been classical music but I'm always happy to explore more genres 

since I love listening to, and playing, all different types of music.

Danny Herrera 

I’ve been pursuing music since the age of 9. 

I started learning piano for 5 years and learned basic Music Theory through the keys, 

that then helped me transition to other instruments as I progressed. I taught myself the 

guitar at 16 and picked up Ukulele quickly after that. I enjoy all types and genres of music 

and am passionate for teaching and helping other people find their love for music!
