About Amy

A classically trained musician with a broad, expressive approach to teaching.

Cornish mezzo-soprano Amy Morris, also known professionally as Amy Karensa, completed her MMus in Vocal Performance at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in 2026, studying under Wilma MacDougall and Jane Irwin.

Her studies were generously supported by the Biddy Baxter and John Hosier Music Trust Scholarship, Help Musicians and the RCS Trust. Alongside her vocal training, Amy has strong foundations in cello and piano, giving her a rounded musical perspective that supports students across technique, musicianship and expression.

Amy is passionate about helping students use music as a meaningful form of expression. Her teaching is well suited to children, young people and adult learners, whether they are building confidence, developing technique, preparing for performance, or learning for enjoyment in a structured and encouraging environment.

Music should help students find confidence, expression and enjoyment — whatever their age, instrument or level.
