Piano, Guitar, Voice & Music Therapy
Amy teaches beginning piano, guitar and voice at the Community Music School. She has a Bachelor of Music degree from Marywood University. She also teaches group classes that introduce young children to music in creative ways, such as “Music Makers” and “Introduction to Guitar.” Her favorite quote by Victor Hugo sums up her love of music. “Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent.”
Amy is also a Board Certified Music Therapist and provides assessments and recommendations for adaptive lessons or music therapy sessions as a related service for children with disabilities. Amy’s mission as a teacher is to help children with disabilities recognize “that they are not only special, but have so much to teach us.”
Amy’s passion is for singing as well as teaching. She is a cantor at St. Patrick Church in East Hampton, and is a former member of the Greater Middletown Chorale. She has been married to her “wonderful husband, Kirk,” for 4 years and they have a beautiful baby boy named Stephen. “We enjoy going for walks, reading books and singing lots of songs.”
