Amber James, Professional Pianist and Singer

When you hire me you will be able to depend on the highest level of musicianship, professionalism, and courteousness. I am punctual, easy to get along with, and always desire to give the client exactly what they want. My knowledge of piano and vocal music is extensive and I will work tirelessly to make sure you are satisfied with the services you receive.

Hi! My name is Amber and I'm a professional musician teaching full-time private voice and piano lessons in NYC. My life's work and passion is music. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Education and Piano, a Master of Music degree in Vocal Performance and am currently finishing a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Vocal Performance. I have a passion for teaching piano and voice lessons, all levels and styles. I moved to NYC to pursue a singing career in opera and will be performing three lead roles this year with the New York Opera Forum. It is my desire to perform as much as possible either as a pianist or singer. I have experience in opera, musical theater, and jazz. I would love to add professionalism, style, and superb musicianship for your next event or party. I look forward to working with you!

If I am hired to sing classical or operatic style music, I will not need sound amplification. Other styles such as theater and jazz will require a microphone. I suggest to mic the piano if the event venue is on the larger side. Good lighting is always a plus. I will work with the event planner on any staging decisions that need to be made. I do not personally own any technical equipment so if certain items are required they will need to be provided.
