Carly Walton is from Mesa, Arizona and currently lives near Salt Lake City, Utah with her husband and three daughters. She studied piano at Berklee College of Music in Boston. After finishing her degree in Boston, she opened a piano studio in Arizona and taught choral music in local charter schools. In 2013, after some of her piano students moved out of state, she decided to experiment with teaching piano lessons online. Carly shifted her studio exclusively online in 2017 which allowed her to travel to 15 countries with her husband and baby girl- all while still teaching!

In 2018, Carly began developing business and tech courses for instrumental music teachers to help them build a global online music studio. Since then she has created several courses focusing on digital marketing, website building, and online course creation. Her courses have been used by teachers worldwide and her online community has grown to 10,000+ teachers. Her favorite topics to teach and coach include: technology for online teaching, mindset for business growth, online teaching engagement, and digital marketing for studios. In addition to her membership community, she enjoys interviewing other experts for her weekly podcast, the Teach Music Online Podcast.
