Piano, Voice and Production Lessons
Amy has many years in teaching beginner to advanced piano in many styles from church chord texture, pop, jazz, or classical.. Amy makes sure that the foundations of Piano are sure, stable and ready to build upon. Vocal lessons are drawn from a medical and an artistic model for teaching with well established principles for warm-up, tonal color change, pitch correction and breath control.

Students can have a non-mandatory recital once they have reached an end of year mark.
