About Amy
A competent creative musician needs a great set of tools, and I'm here to kit you out!
I’m Amy, a composer and educator with over ten years’ experience of bridging the gap between classical training and contemporary music making. I want to help you become a flexible and confident musician who can play just as happily without sheet music as with it. Join the other adult music makers who are discovering the joy of being able to play by ear, improvise, harmonise their own melodies, and ease into their creative flow.
Now more than ever, we’re finding as musicians that the traditional kind of music training we may have had as children isn’t serving us fully in the diverse musical landscape we’re in now. Maybe you’d love to write your own music but aren’t sure how to apply classical theory to suit your tastes? Maybe you’re frustrated that you can't translate what's in your head onto your instrument, or get in a flap when asked to play anything that's not written out for you? I believe passionately in a well-rounded, holistic approach where instrumental techniques, theory, and creative application happen harmoniously alongside each other for a richer learning experience, with a healthy dose of fun and plenty of encouragement!
There’s no need to worry about taking any big leaps, as I know that flexing your creative muscle for the first time can be daunting – I’ll guide you step by step towards your creative goals. Your lessons should be all about you, so it’ll be you who sets the pace and direction. If this sounds like a good fit, you're welcome to book in for an initial chat with me to kick things off. I've currently got two spaces left per week for new students to fill.
A bit about me: a first-class honours conservatoire graduate with a principal study of composition, I've been writing music since primary school. I play and teach clarinet, saxophone and piano, and have also taught singing and percussion to groups of many sizes and ages. I've had arrangements played all over the world, including recent performances by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and ROCO in Texas, USA.
