Ashley Herron Scott is the founder and managing partner of Little Steps Music. She holds an M.A. degree in music therapy from New York University, where the subject of her master’s thesis was sensory integration dysfunction and its treatment through music therapy. She also holds a B.S. degree in psychology from the University of Mary Washington. While in graduate school, Ashley completed internships at Step By Step Child Developmental Center and Downstate Medical Hospital in Brooklyn, specializing in early intervention for toddlers with developmental delays.

After graduating from NYU, Ashley successfully completed the Music Together Teaching Training Workshop, developed by the Center for Music and Young Children in Princeton, New Jersey. There she became a licensed director of Music Together, an internationally-based music education program for young children. Ashley has been leading Music Together classes in the Washington, DC area since 1996.

When she's not teaching infants, toddlers, pre-schoolers and their families how to love music, Ashley conducts a private practice in music therapy in Arlington, Virginia, where she treats children with developmental delays, specializing in those on the autism spectrum. She spends any of her free time cheering for the West Virginia University Mountaineers, where her older son attends college, and volunteering in many musical capacities at her church.
