Amelia received her vocal performance degree from Northern Illinois University with a concentration in 20th century art song and choral music. Theory, aural skills, sight-reading, music history and world music are aspects she values and incorporates in her lessons, while encouraging a positive approach to music, catered to the student's goals. She holds the philosophy that everyone has an inner artist, and with a little bit of practice, curiosity and hard work, magical things can happen. When she is not teaching at Bucktown Music, Amelia is a singer-songwriter, roller-skater and M.M. vocal performance graduate student at North Park University in Chicago.
