About Amanda
Hello prospective students--thanks for visiting my profile! I am not currently accepting new students but if you'd like to be on a waitlist please let me know.
I am a full-time musician in the Twin Cities area teaching piano and voice lessons. I specialize in working with school-age kids but I currently have students of all ages
!
As a teacher, my goal is to cultivate healthy mental practices within the study of music--no shaming will be found in my studio! I guide students to develop practice habits based on empirically proven motivational techniques, like progress mapping, affirmations, rewards, goal setting, and most importantly, working on fun music!
I have a master's degree in music theory and a bachelor's in music with an emphasis in vocal performance. I have been teaching or performing music full time for the last three years and adore working with my students!
If you have any questions or requests, please send me a message and I'll be happy to get back to you.
I have two years of experience teaching college students in one-on-one and group settings as well as many years of teaching young students. As the daughter of a teacher, I started young, helping in the classrom and teaching swimming lessons to kids age 12 to 6 months (yes, babies can learn basic water safety). I studied education in my undergrad and spent over 100 hours in diverse classrooms in addition to my coursework. I have been teaching full-time for about 6 months now and am loving every second of it! Dream job: achieved.

My process generally depends on the age and goals of each student.
We decide on a method book or other course of instruction based on their experience level, preferred style of music, talents, and goals.
I keep a log of pieces/activities assigned in a practice sheet that also serves as a daily practice log. For younger students, I reward practice with stickers that they can accumulate to earn prizes.
My teaching goals are twofold: to cultivate an enjoyment of music and instill good practice habits. In order to do that I work to find pieces that students are really excited to work on, and reward practice and hard work, regardless of achievement.
A few things are important to have in mind:
1. It is good to develop a clear idea of what kind (or all kinds) of music that you want to study and advocate for that in your lessons. We, as music teachers, want you to study what you love. If a teacher is not enthusiastic about working within your desired repertoire, keep looking for one that is.
2. In regards to the developing voice, I would not advise learning to manipulate vocal tone until the student has reached high school. Young singers, however, are very well served by learning to read music, sight-sing, and develop good intonation.

Amanda has everything - she is a fantastic musician, a wonderful teacher, and she is great at working with kids. She individualizes her instruction to meet the needs of each student and takes great care in providing a great music education for each of them. I highly recommend her as a teacher!
Amanda is very patient and creative in her instruction. Our six year old daughter started piano lessons with her about 5 months ago and loves it. Amanda came very highly recommended by a friend and I would not hesitate to recommend her myself. She understands young children, child development, and motivation very well, and she differentiates lessons for different styles of learners. I'm very impressed and satisfied with our experience!
Amanda is the BEST! I wish that I could get my kids to listen to me as well as she does during their lesson time.
She is so musical and artistic, but also understands the basics students need to learn that will trip them up later if they don't. It seems like it would be a challenge to keep students engaged while ensuring they have a solid foundation to foster a life long love of music... but she always seems to find a way for our kids to be excited for the next lesson and practice time during the week.Amanda is phenomenal! She has been working with my girls, 6 and 10 since November and they are doing great and love her. She is patient and so creative in making it interesting and fun for them. Highly recommend!
