About Ashe School of Music
Ashe School of Music was founded with a clear mission: to make high-quality music education accessible to the Holly Springs community and throughout Southern Wake County. Our founder, AsheLee Bonham Gahagan, launched the studio in 2019 from her own home, teaching students in a converted dining room. What began with just eight students quickly grew to over forty in under two years, revealing a growing need for passionate, professional music instruction in the area.
In April 2023, AsheLee opened the first official location of Ashe School of Music - a cozy house on Holly Springs Road - with two instructors and forty-five students. Within just four months, enrollment doubled. To keep up with demand, we welcomed more instructors and expanded into a second studio in downtown Holly Springs.
Where We Are Today
Now operating from two vibrant locations, Ashe School of Music serves over 300 students weekly with a dedicated faculty of more than 20 professional musicians and educators. Our team shares AsheLee’s vision for creative, individualized, and compassionate instruction, ensuring every student receives a rich and supportive musical experience.
In recognition of her visionary leadership, AsheLee was honored as Business Leader of the Year 2023 by the Holly Springs Chamber of Commerce. Beyond the classroom, Ashe School of Music is deeply rooted in the community and you’ll often find our students performing at local events, retirement homes, and benefit concerts.
