    I am a professional voice and piano teacher located in Clemson, SC and currently on faculty at Southern Wesleyan University. Before relocating to South Carolina I maintained a full-time private studio in New York City. I've been teaching for 24 years all over the country and currently have an active online studio. I have a Bachelor's degree in piano and music education, a Master's degree in Vocal Performance, and a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Vocal Performance and Pedagogy. I love to teach all ages and styles. I have extensive training in opera, musical theatre, and contemporary music styles. I look forward to hearing from you and would love to help you reach your goals!

    Amber is amazing and possibly the perfect singing teacher. I have never been able to sing well but have always wanted to. Amber was able to help me learn skills and improve my singing. I was very anxious about the lessons but Amber's personality put me at ease. She is great to work with.

    She’s the best. I’m an actress and she’s helped me with my voice and breathing. I’m never straining and know how to grasp the air I need properly. She also is super supportive and challenges you to go above your comfort zone.
