MUSICAL DIRECTOR & CONDUCTOR
Amy works across Musical Direction, conducting and Music Supervision in theatre and live performance.

CLICK TRACKS, PLAYBACK & PROGRAMMING
Amy creates and prepares click tracks, playback stems, count-ins, cues, tempo maps and rehearsal materials for theatre, bands and live performance.
Her approach focuses on making technology useful for the musicians actually using it, with playback systems designed to be clear, musical and reliable in a real performance environment.
Working across Logic Pro, Ableton Live and QLab, Amy understands playback from both the programming side and the perspective of the performer hearing and responding to it on stage.
