“Throughout my time as a performer, I've learned the value of finding and staying true to my authentic sound, no matter what kind of music I'm singing. This is something I try to encourage in my students and cultivate in our work together.”

“As an instrumentalist and composer/arranger/producer, the concepts covered in Amy’s workshop felt essential to the creative process. She did a great job of introducing warm-ups and exercises that helped me with vocal technique, while also expanding my idea of what a song is and how important lyrics and delivery can be in a performance. I highly recommend taking lessons/classes with Amy!”
