Ashley Macachor is a graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA where she studied guitar and world percussion. Since 2021 Ashley has been teaching music enrichment/appreciation, world percussion, and ukulele classes in elementary schools (K-6th grades) throughout the South Bay and Peninsula in the SF Bay Area. An important aspect to Ashley’s teaching is to learn about and engage students’ unique talents and interests, expose students to a variety of genres and cultures, provide a space of fun and stress-relief, all while learning the importance of focus, persistence and positive collaboration. Ashley is also currently an Assistant Director of San Jose’s community Brazilian percussion ensemble, Bloco Do Sol.
