Teaching since 1992, Amy holds many degrees from Indiana University School of Music (BM classical piano, BM jazz piano, MM jazz studies, Performer’s Certificate). She earned the designation of Nationally Certified Teacher of Music from the Music Teachers National Association and is a Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM®) certified teacher. She is a Red Leaf Pianoworks composer, crafting music for pianists from primary to professional levels.

She works with students K-12, from the newest wide-eyed beginner to the seasoned competitor.

Many of Amy’s students have earned spots at prestigious college music schools such as Berklee, Eastman, NYU Steinhardt, The New School, USC Thornton, and UCLA. Her very first student from 1993 still happily plays piano!

Amy’s students receive training in reading music fluently, playing by ear, standard classical repertoire, jazz styles and improvisation, theory, composition, folk and pop styles. Intermediate and advanced students also learn to read from lead sheets and create their own arrangements. If desired, Amy’s students can take yearly piano examinations through MTAC and RCM® and enter music competitions.
