Although I'm only on a short break from playing piano with Amy due to motherhood and my children making it impossible to practice, I'm excited about returning as soon as I can! Amy has brought up my confidence in my playing as well as my technique. I can't wait to get back into piano lessons with her :-)

I've had several voice teachers and Amy has been by far the best! I've grown more as a vocalist with her as my teacher than anyone else! She explains things in ways that makes sense and the awkward exercises she has you do really work! Whether you're female or male and want to improve, she can help you. The question isn't whether or not she's a good teacher. She's a great teacher! The question is whether or not you're willing to put in the work.
