Amberly’s passion for music began at a very young age. She sang in both children and youth choirs while growing up, in addition to taking piano lessons. At age 12 she began playing the organ for her church congregation during Sunday worship services, and through High School and University she enjoyed playing bassoon and piano in concert and jazz band.

From 2004-2008 Amberly completed a Bachelor of Music in piano performance at the University of Lethbridge. She received excellent training in collaborative piano at the hand of Dr. Deanna Oye, which fuelled her interest in collaborative and accompanist roles.

After graduating from University, Amberly began working as a piano teacher, accompanist, and free-lance musician. Choral music has always been an area of key interest for her, and she has had the opportunity to accompany numerous choirs throughout Alberta. In recent years she has furthered her musical interests through composing and arranging music, as well as learning the cello.

Amberly and her husband have 4 children. They moved to Okotoks in 2016 and have fallen in love with the area. When they are not reading books as a family, they enjoy hiking, kayaking, and mountain biking together in the beautiful Alberta Foothills and Rockies.
