About Amy

Amy Frederick began studying the piano when she was six and her first recording experience was singing Beatles songs into a portable cassette player at age seven.  “She loves you yeah, yeah, yeah!”  While in high school, she accompanied the concert choir and served as field commander in the marching band.  She started playing for musicals also, and began working as pianist and organist for many denominations of churches.

After high school, she won the Birmingham Music Club competition which awarded her enough money to attend the Aspen Music Festival, a life-changing experience where she heard world-class musicians play concerts every day for nine weeks.  Following graduation from the University of Alabama with a Bachelor of Music, she moved to Michigan and bought a keyboard.  Following a four-and-a-half month stint performing on a paddlewheel boat in Otsu, Japan, Ms. Frederick moved to Nashville.  

Since then, Ms. Frederick’s unique background of classical piano study combined with many years of playing keyboards and organ for rhythm and blues, country, pop, rock, gospel and symphonic music has served her well.  She has performed multiple times every week with her band, Roxcel for 25 years, and has played concerts and shows with the Paducah Symphony, Orchestra Kentucky, Chaffin’s Barn and Nashville’s Sprocket Comedy Improv group.  Ms. Frederick has played and sung on many studio projects for other artists as well as for her solo CD, “However We Like”.  

In 2012, she graduated from Belmont University with a Master of Music in piano performance.  She currently teaches a studio of twenty-five, up-and-coming musicians and is happy to host “Confessions of a Keyboardist,” a bi-weekly podcast featuring interviews with professional keyboard players.
