“I could not imagine a better mentor to beginning piano, or a deeper dive into composition and analysis. My relationship to music has grown so much, and I have never felt more empowered creatively. Really great teachers are rare, and I feel so lucky to have Amanda as a guide on this journey”
“As a primarily classically trained student, I have always had a difficult time understanding chords and playing over them. However, your explanation about attaching the scale to the chord made perfect sense. After your masterclass, I was able to feel what playing with the changes really meant. Moreover, it was very comforting to see a female jazz musician that described experiences that I relate to, like having to break out the shell to explore improvised material. I would love to attend your masterclasses again in the future.”
