Complimenting her appreciation for performance, Amy is also an inspiring and dedicated music teacher whose primary goal is to unlock her students’ musical potential and spark a passion. Through her experiences in ensemble and solo playing, private teaching, group teaching and music leadership; a deep understanding of the instrument - both technically and musically, has been cultivated.
