Amy Lloyd

Amy's Mission

Amy's mission as a teaching artist is simple: to help singers and other musicians to express themselves through beautiful music with greater coordination, freedom, and skill.

Any singer or pianist can learn to better express themselves when their technique and skills are honed by consistent study and high-quality instruction, which Amy encourages and provides from her teaching studio in Southern Maryland.

Teaching Philosophy

Amy teaches with a holistic approach, focusing intently on teaching her students to use their voices and play the piano with a healthy technique. She is also a curious student of musicology, so when you study with Amy you will learn and gain knowledge of music far beyond just vocal performance or piano technique. Her teaching philosophy includes a heavy emphasis on providing all-encompassing instruction to turn out well-rounded students of music.

As a continuing student herself and a mother of two, Amy understands all aspects of the student-parent-teacher relationship. Collaboration and communication are essential to ensure a productive and fruitful relationship, and Amy makes these aspects a priority in her instruction.

Amy is certified by the State of Maryland to teach grades PreK-12 music and grades 7-12 agriculture. She holds a bachelor of science in agricultural education from the University of Illinois and studied voice and music at the College of Southern Maryland and Butler University in Indianapolis, IN. She also studied with voice teachers from the Total Vocal Freedom Academy and the Washington National Cathedral.
