About Amie
Scientists have discovered that it takes approximately 400 repetitions to create a new synapse in the brain, unless it is done with a sense of joy and play, in which case it only takes 10-20 repetitions.

I’ve been playing the piano since I was 5 years old. I took “traditional” piano lessons, and when my children were ready to learn, I enrolled them in the same lessons. And…they hated it! It was painful for all of us! I realized that the old “traditional” piano lesson style and repertoire weren’t going to engage today’s children. My fresh approach to teaching piano evolved from these experiences.
I love to teach quirky, active, inquisitive kids! I also love teaching children that haven’t had success in more traditional settings. I personalize each lesson to the ways they learn best. I’m familiar with many different piano methods and materials, and can pivot to find what connects best with each child. I love nurturing children’s joy and confidence through piano!
Let’s get started learning with joy and play!
