Carly Hughes

Carly started taking her daughter to music class at the Music Playhouse when she was just 10 months old, and now she is excited to join the TMP family as a teacher!  She has a Bachelor's degree in elementary education from Purdue and a graduate certification in literacy instruction from Ball State.  Before college, Carly studied voice and piano for many years. She taught piano with Irina Gorin's Piano Studio and performed competitively around the Indianapolis area.  As a Carmel native, she had wonderful opportunities to be involved with show choir and musical theatre from a young age.  She credits her public school teachers, choir directors, vocal coach, piano teacher, and parents with cultivating a love for music and a passion for teaching.  Carly is thrilled to bring her experience to The Music Playhouse and make music with your family!
