I don’t always think to take the time to write a review here…. BUT each lesson with Ami is always so inspiring and motivating. She makes sure I am clear on new concepts before moving forward and is alway very generous about following me in whatever direction I take during our lesson. I just can’t say enough about how much I have grown as a musician since studying with Ami!
Janice S.
Ami is a wonderful instructor. She makes you feel empowered as you are learning and meets you where you are. Ami's passion for the flute is excitable and inspiring - Makes me want to play more. My playing and understanding of the Native American flute and music in general has greatly improved since taking lessons with Ami.
