Don't take our word for it. Here's what students and families say about learning with Amelia.
I first began working with Amelia while studying at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and over the past three years she has played a huge role in my development as a performer. Amelia helped me prepare for Opera Australia auditions, where I secured three professional roles, as well as auditions for musical theatre productions, competitions, eisteddfods and school performances. I am also incredibly grateful to have been awarded the inaugural Sydney Sings Vocal Scholarship in 2025.
Amelia has given me a strong foundation in classical vocal technique including developing healthy technique and foreign language articulation. Her knowledge and guidance have helped me grow in both confidence and vocal ability across a range of performance settings.
I am so grateful for everything I have learnt from Amelia and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking an inspiring and highly knowledgeable vocal teacher
With her years of experience and knowledge of the industry , she combines outstanding technical knowledge and guidance with a supportive and encouraging teaching style.
