Her private studio students have gone on to study at institutions such as Boston Conservatory, New England Conservatory, Arizona State University and NYU as well as students currently performing on Broadway National Tours. Amy prides herself in her skills as a vocal pedagogue and mentor to aspiring singers and actors. The relationships she builds with her students last decades. A recent review explains it best, Amy is an astute musician and talented singer, who reads a musical score with ease, understands the theory behind it, sings with conviction, and brings a historical perspective to every song. While these attributes are noteworthy, it is her teaching that inspires me most.
