ABOUT
ME
Amanda Empey
I'm a clarinetist and "retired" band teacher living in Twin Falls, ID. I taught 8 years at Blackfoot High School and recently quit to stay home with my 2 twin boys who are nearing one year of age. I've been married to my husband Bret for 7 years August 2024. My family is my very greatest blessing.
I graduated from BYU-Idaho in 2014 with my Bachelor's Degree is Music Education and followed up with my Master's Degree in Clarinet Performance from Boise State University. I studied under the "tootelage" (pun intended) of very excellent music professors including (but certainly not limited to) Diane Soelberg, Bill Holman, Adam Ballif, Leslie Moreau, Marcellus Brown, and Joe Tornello.
​
Now as a stay-at-home mother, I'm expecting to continue my music career by continuing to teach private lessons where I can. I hope to maintain my contact with the band world as an adjudicator or band clinician. I also will dabble at various music projects for fun!
​
When I'm not doing music, I love to read, sketch, and spend time with my family playing games or going on adventures around Idaho. My sweet boys take up a lot of my time, and I love spending that time with them. Having a full-time mother in the home was a blessing for me as a child and I hope to give that to my children as well. That being said, I'd love to make it a goal to continue to keep up with music and adventuring.
