One on One
Music mentoring for Musicians 

You don’t need to figure it all out alone.

If you're a self-taught musician feeling stuck, overwhelmed by your gear, or unsure of your next step, you're in the right place.

This isn't a cookie-cutter lesson plan... It's mentorship built around you.

Let’s start with a free, no-commitment session to talk, get to know each other, and see if we click.

  • You’ve been playing for years but still feel like an imposter

  • You’ve got the tools (a DAW, a synth, an instrument)... but not the confidence

  • You love music but secretly wonder if you’re even good at it

  • You try to improve but constantly second-guess your choices

  • You feel like you’re missing some invisible piece that other musicians seem to have

If any of that hits home, let’s talk.
We can figure out what’s going on and whether I’m the right mentor for you.
No pitch. Just presence.

Your Free First Session (Always 100% Free):

  • 30 minutes on Zoom

  • A safe, judgment-free space to talk about your musical goals, struggles, and background

  • Actionable clarity on what’s getting in your way

  • No pressure to sign up for anything after



🔹 If We Click, Here's What Ongoing Sessions Look Like:

  • Four (4) 30-minute Zoom sessions per month, booked flexibly around your schedule

  • Use my online calendar to reserve times that work for you, rather than being locked into a fixed weekly time slot

  • Custom guidance based on your skill level and creative goals

  • Support across the 3 pillars I teach: Music Psychology, Musicality, and Theory

  • Session recordings, PDF breakdowns, and follow-up resources (when applicable)

  • Honest feedback, encouragement, and strategy that actually moves the needle

Traditional lessons often force you into a fixed weekly time that may not work long-term. Life is unpredictable — this system gives you the structure of four sessions a month, but you book them when it works best for you.

If we both feel good about continuing after your free session, ongoing mentorship is $180/month. No contracts. Just month-to-month growth with full flexibility.

My goal for you is to be able to play with confidence in who you are as a uniquely defined musician, have the intuition to steer around musical obstacles with accuracy, understanding and deep insight as to what the theory is of what you're playing, and be able to play with the freedom to enjoy playing music without the frustration of stressing and focusing on perfection.
As a teacher, I dream BIG for my students! Over the years I've learned that anything is achievable if you're willing to be patient and consistent with yourself!
you can start your path to this goal today

I’m not here to sell you a formula.
I’m here because I am just like you: a passionate, self-driven musician who had to piece things together the long, hard way.

I offer mentorship because I believe every musician has a voice that deserves to be heard — and sometimes you just need the right person to help you uncover it.

That’s why your first session is free.
Because this has to work for both of us.
Because this is about your music, your journey, and your next step.

  • Is the first session really free?

Frequently asked questions (FAQ's)

Yes. No credit card. No sales pitch. Just clarity, connection, and a real conversation about your musicianship.
  • If I want to continue I cancel anytime? 
  • I don’t know theory / I’m not a "real" musician / I feel behind...
  • What if I’m not ready for full mentorship yet?
Absolutely! At any time you feel that you need to take a break, or stop all together, this is a zero-hassle commitment. Cancel anytime! 
That’s exactly what we work on. You don’t have to show up perfect. Just show up.
Then the free session will still give you something valuable: a map of what your next few steps could be.
  • How does scheduling work?
Instead of a fixed weekly appointment, you get four 30-minute Zoom sessions per month and book them in advance using my virtual calendar. That way, you have the freedom to choose times that work with your real life — no guilt, no stress.
  • What does ongoing mentorship cost?
If you decide to continue after your free session, it’s $180/month. No contracts, just flexible month-to-month support.

I've been playing music since 1992 (I was 10 when I picked up my first instrument, the flute), teaching music one on one since 2005, and graduated from Seton Hall University in 2013 with a BS in Secondary Education, with a concentration in the electric bass guitar. 
As a musician I have played/sung both solo and as a part of jazz bands, rock bands and modern worship teams at many popular establishments and venues in New Jersey and NYC. As a songwriter, performer and recording engineer, I have an intimate knowledge of the struggles that new and experienced musicians face when trying to express themselves musically. Mixed in there with all my musical experience, I've also undergone rigorous psychology training and application (from another job I worked at before the big, world crash of 2020). 

All this experienced combined has given me a unique and affective approach to teaching music, and I want the opportunity to see you succeed the way countless of my students have succeeded! In my method, I go past the (more childish) approach of a traditional music teacher, and become music mentor for you. In this way I can address you, a fellow musician, in a more holistic way. I don't just want to see your talent and skills increase, I want to guide you to a place where you can thrive in confidence in knowing who you are as a musician, empower you with the knowledge to overcome any musical confusion and struggle, guide you to a deeper insight as to the way you're wired to process music, and get you to a place where you can carve out your chosen musical path! 

In 2021 I made the jump to fulfill my long-time dream of opening my own online music academy! The vision I had in mind was to create a place where musicians were safe to drop their ego and facade of being a virtuoso, so real growth can actually happen. SoundPaint Academy is a place where everyone is encouraged to be open about struggles (myself included!), and mutually be inspired to learn from one another.   

If that all sounds like it speaks to you, then you belong here! 

Hi there! I'm Amy-

I want to be your go-to clarifier for those hazy, foggy music concepts that trick and elude you. 

Follow me in these places-

SoundPaint Academy is here for you, and was created to see you thrive as a musician in a real-world capacity. 
It will be work at times, but I'm here to guide you
through the use of music psychology discovery, musicality development and music theory mastery.


imagine Where your skills can take you in a year:: 

 I can't wait to see what you will become, how you will grow as you begin to carve out your musical path with confidence and accelerated ability!
