Amanda is thrilled to be joining the Music Together community as a teacher after experiencing it first as a mother!

She graduated from NYU with a BFA in Musical Theatre and went on to perform on and off- broadway in several shows. She also enjoyed her 3 year home on the CBS daytime soap opera "Guiding Light" as Darci Mathews. You may spot her on TV re-runs of "Law and Order", "The Chappelle Show" and "Hope and Faith", and the recent release of the independent film "My Father's Will".
