In addition to piano instruction, Amy holds an MFA in creative writing and has experience teaching the subject to elementary school students here in Columbus, high school students at Boston Arts Academy, and undergraduates at Boston University. Individualized creative writing lessons with Amy are designed to inspire young writers while teaching them about the essential elements of fiction writing!

Amy’s individualized creative writing lessons are typically broken down into three parts:

Part 1: Constructive feedback on work submitted to me prior to class (usually a few pages of a story or novel). I will read the pages ahead of time and give my thoughts to the student during our class, touching upon what the student has done well in the pages and what the student can improve upon.

Part 2: Instruction on some of the most important elements of fiction writing, such as character development, plot, description, word choice, outlining, revision, and more.

Part 3: A writing exercise which will be started during class and, if the student desires, finished during his or her free time and submitted to me for a future class!
