I’m excited today to feature a guest who is a gifted storyteller, as well as a music teacher. She has found a way to blend those talents into a compelling platform that we can all learn from. 

Her name is Ashley Rescot, and she is a professional violinist, educator, writer, and Fulbright scholar. She has operated her own violin studio for nearly a decade. She’s not only an extraordinarily talented violinist, but is also fluent in French, having spent a year in Paris as part of her education.  

Ashley is part of our Daily Writer Community, and also just released her first book, which is a collection of short stories called The Chronicles of Music Majors.  

In this conversation, we explore the connection between writing, teaching, and storytelling. Ashley shares why stories make such great teaching tools, where she gets ideas for her stories, and the practicalities of how she writes them. She also shares an immensely helpful framework for how to create short stories, which is worth the whole podcast in itself.  

You can connect with Ashley via her website, Instagram, and YouTube. You can find her book, The Chronicles of Music Majors, on her website and on Amazon.
