Collaborate with me!

"Amelia Thompson is not only a consummate professional, she is intrinsically motivated by her own intellectual curiosity and personal dedication to grow and be better with each passing rehearsal. It is rare, in my experience as a conductor, to find a collaborative artist who is both a technical pedagouge committed to music making excellence at the highest level possible and a community minded musician who leads with their heart first.  She is a compassionate, sensitive leader from the keyboard.  There is not a single musician that I would rather work in partnership with than Amelia. "

"Amelia is a delight to work with. She is a true professional who brings deep musicality and joy into the rehearsal space. She is a seasoned choral artist, giving her a unique perspective as a collaborator with vocalists. We love having Amelia at our annual choral festival, and hope she continues to partner with us through the years!"

“I've had the pleasure of working with Amelia as our collaborative pianist and assistant conductor at Fullerton Union High School for five years. She's an incredible musician—accompanying rehearsals and performances, leading vocal warm-ups, coaching students, and jumping into open score reading with ease. The students love working with her, and she brings out the best in their musical growth, especially in skill building like rhythms and sightreading. 

She's also impressively versatile. Whether it's classical pieces, musical theatre, or pop songs, she's always eager to learn. She’s picked up instruments like the djembe and spoons, programmed her own keyboard in Mainstage, and even mixed audio for a 60-voice virtual choir during the pandemic. She's a true collaborator and an essential part of any team.”
