Artist History Amy started playing violin at the age of four, and remembers her first teacher was a nun named sister Alice. Amy feels most grateful to her parents, her siblings ("for having to listen to me all the time"), her long-standing Denver teachers Roland Jones and Lois Sollenberger, and college teachers Larry Graham and William Starr. She was originally taught via the Suzuki method, a Japanese ear-training method. When she was seven her mom (and Amy agreed) thought it was time to start learning to actually read the music, so she began piano lessons. Amy participated in numerous competitions, and won the Denver Public Schools Concerto Competition in 1984. She played the first movement of the Saint-Seans Piano Concerto number 5 opus 103 in F Major, with the (then) Denver Symphony. She played in the Denver Young Artists Orchestra, (performed in New York at Alice Tully Hall), the Denver All City Orchestra, and the Colorado All State Orchestra. She has had some private vocal training, but has primarily sung in musicals, such as playing Sandy in Grease at her high school, participating in Original Scene productions, and group vocal lessons at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City. Amy attended the University of Colorado at Boulder, where she received a Fiske full-tuition scholarship, and other scholarship assistance. She doubled majored in violin and piano performance. Since then, she has written music/lyrics, taught piano to children and adults, played organ for a church, played weddings at The Church (before it became a nightclub), and played in a local band named Zeut (participated on the first two CD's). Amy (also known as AJ) currently writes music, teaches music, plays with guitarist Robert Eldridge, and plays solo. She earned a Masters in Social Work and has been a professional school social worker since 1997. Says Amy, "I love counseling, and I absorb a good deal of social problems daily, which is interesting, but stressful. Music is the universal language, and the tongue through which I share my deepest feelings and emotions. Without music I don't know where I or where any of us, would be."
