Amy is patient and attentive and knows how to cater her lessons to meet students where they are at and help them to grow from there. She has provided opportunities for fun concerts and cello get togethers with other students. I am amazed at the broad range of students she teaches at every level and age from eight to eighty!

She is so personable, engaging, and supportive in and out of her studio. I cannot recommend her highly enough if you are interested in learning cello at any level of experience!

Amy is such a wonderful teacher as well as a kind and hardworking person. She sets up her lessons so the student can decide how best they learn whether that’s having multiple songs at once, or taking things one at a time. Either way she is so patient and encouraging. I look forward to my cello lesson every week and have noticed significant improvement in my playing!

She is so upbeat and encouraging. My daughter is really able to connect with Amy, making her lessons even more engaging. Amy does a great job of supporting her interests while exposing her to new material.

She always has great energy and make it very fun. I also get to choose a lot of the songs I learn and they Can most any song I want.

Amy has a very positive and encouraging teaching style, and she pushes her students to challenge themselves and continually improve. She also allows students to choose what they would like to work on and what type of music they would like to play. She makes lessons very individualized for her students so that they are able to learn the best. Amy is also very kind hearted and personable, and makes every lesson fun for her students. I have never had a lesson where I haven’t enjoyed myself and laughed a bit.

Everything! Amy is great at helping a person reach their full potential. Amy lets me play what I want as long as it is in my skill range. I have never been happier than I am while playing my cello.

She’s incredibly encouraging and motivating and wants nothing more than to see you thrive. She pushes me to my highest potential and makes sure I can handle any challenge. I owe my improvement as a cellist all to her, both in music and allowing me to expand my abilities and showing me the best ways to push myself. Overall I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher to help me through my music career.

Amy has been my cello teacher for the past 5 years and she’s absolutely amazing! She is an incredible musician and works so hard to help me with my musicality, technique, she helps me pick music I’m interested in playing and has given me amazing opportunities to play in like pit orchestras, events around town and private recitals that she books for us. I cannot say enough good things about Amy and her talent and dedication to what she does. She makes learning an instrument manageable and fun and is a phenomenal teacher.

She is so relaxed and just an awesome person to be around. She knows so much and really knows how to teach it in a way that I understand. She works with you to make sure that what you are doing is enjoyable and that you are having fun. I always look forward to our lessons and getting to learn new and fun music.

Amy's positive attitude and ability to make a connection with her students makes such a huge difference in how well they learn. We are so HAPPY that we chose Amy to work with our child.

Amy is a skilled cello coach. She consistently uses strategies that challenge and encourage me to grow. Amy seeks out music that I'm drawn too and this has a positive impact on my drive to keep practicing and playing.

I think she is an amazing teacher. In one point of time I was thinking of quitting my Instrument, because I was having trouble in school. My mom suggested that she would get me a cello teacher to help me. And on the very first day I was there, I felt ten times more confident In my music and my knowledge. I would highly recommend Amy if you want to have fun in your lessons and enjoy them as well.
