Testimonials

Amy was our daughter’s piano teacher for over a decade. She has an incredible rapport with her students, putting them at ease from the very beginning. Our daughter always enjoyed her lessons with Amy because she knew Amy would be encouraging, positive, and fun. Our daughter learned to read music and improve her technique through her lessons. She loved that the songs she practiced were personally appealing, including tunes by her favorite singers or bands. We highly recommend Amy to anyone seeking a piano teacher! You will not be disappointed.

Our daughters have been taking guitar and ukulele lessons with Amy and have enjoyed every minute! She invests her time and energy to improve their learning and make it fun at the same time.

Amy’s passion for the arts is truly evident. As the mother of a voice student, I feel Amy’s vast knowledge of the arts, patience and dedication are invaluable. Lily has become a confident vocalist under Ms Amy’s direction, always rising to new levels and taking on many new challenges. Solo, duet, group and on-stage music are all covered in her classes. Amy makes each vocal class specific for that student to obtain their ultimate goals. Amy shows enthusiasm for each student’s progress. There is never any lack of encouragement. I highly recommend Amy for all vocal classes.
