“We were blessed to have Amanda give all four of our kids a great start with piano. She has the perfect amount of patience and understanding mixed with firm guidance with the kids’ inhibitions. By the time she moved, our kids made fantastic progress!”

“Amanda helped me to discover and shape my voice and bring out the talent I never knew I had. I went to Amanda wanting to sing musical theater, but she encouraged me to sing classically as well to help train my voice. I grew to love it, and now go to SUNY Fredonia School of Music for voice. Without Amanda, I would never have discovered my talent, nor would I have been able to learn how to shape my voice and let it grow. Amanda was supportive of me in every way, helping me prepare songs in every genre – from Appalachian ballads to Beethoven and everything in between. Amanda is a fabulous teacher who encourages and supports her students, while also helping them grow and discover talents they never knew they had!!”
