Amye F.

Hi, my name is Amye. Music has been a part of my life from an early age. As a young child, my mom was a church worship leader and played piano both in church and in our home, teaching me the basics of the piano and involving my siblings and I in music. My favorite genres to listen to growing up were classical, soundtracks, and contemporary Christian. At 11 years old, I stumbled across some violins at a homeschool convention and immediately, I was drawn in. My youngest brother and I convinced our parents to buy us each a violin and that’s where my strings journey began. 18 years later, I am continuing to grow my skills in violin and cello, focusing on my favorite genres: classical, theatrical/soundtracks, and worship. Most of my experience and advanced training is through playing with worship bands and a music ministry degree program. In 2022, I received a college education in music and worship ministry through Bethel Music College. Through the college, I had the opportunity to learn from Christian songwriters including Brian and Jenn Johnson, Kaley Heilegenthal, Steffany Gretzinger, Amanda Cook, Phil Wickam, Kari and Cody Carnes, Brandon Lake, Brooke Ligertwood, and others. I also received private mentorship from Antonio Marin, the college overseer and a musician who has played with many different Christian artists and labels, including Bethel Music. My heart is to share the skills I’ve learned throughout my music journey with you so that you can be well equipped to play your instrument or write songs, whether you are doing it just for fun or you are pursuing a calling of music on your life.
