My name is Kelly Oja and I’m incredibly excited to join the Ascent Academy team this year!
I’m from the beautifully lush and green parts of Oregon where I fell in love with music and the great outdoors at a very young age. After attending Brigham Young University and completing my bachelor’s degree in music in 2018, I moved to New York City to continue my musical education in jazz studies at New York University. I have performed with numerous other musicians and bands, in all sorts of venues, and for many musicals (including my most recent stint as the bassist for Legally Blonde in Southern California).I have been teaching music for over 10 years and I am so passionate about music and education of all sorts - teaching music is my favorite! I’ve wanted to be a music teacher since I was in seventh grade, so I’m ecstatic to have my own classroom this year!
Other than teaching and performing music, I really enjoy reading, movies, traveling, running, biking, and pretty much anything outdoors. I also LOVE Star Wars and my super-cute dog, Copper.
I’m so looking forward to meeting and working with the students at Ascent Academy and instilling a love for all things music. See you soon, and Rock On!
