Dan Broner, Emeritus Music Director, First Unitarian Society of Madison, Wisconsin:
Whether she is singing for my Musicales concert series, presenting a voice workshop for my choirs, or teaching an eager student, Amber Nicole Dilger has always impressed me with her skill and dedication. But what sets her apart from the many fine musicians with whom I work is her indefatigable joy.

Tanya Kruse Ruck, President (2009-2012), Wisconsin Chapter of the National Association of Teachers of Singing:
It is clear that Amber Nicole is a friendly, energetic teacher who enjoys working with her students. She has developed a good rapport with them and has created a comfortable studio environment. Amber Nicole has the ability to relate to many age groups and meets each student's individual needs based on his/her skill level. She relates the exercises that she has the students explore to what that student is dealing with personally, such as how singing in a Barbershop quartet employs a different technique than singing solo literature. Amber Nicole seems to be aiming for a free, healthy voice production in her students.

Molly Petroff, Choir Director at Waunakee High School:
I enjoy watching Amber Nicole teach. She inspires the imagination of her students by highlighting the meaning of the text. She asks the students to tell the story of their pieces, bringing magic to their performances. Because she understands that students work best when they have a strong relationship with their teacher, she works hard to connect with students in little ways, even though her time is short with them. Her passion for music and singing is obvious, and she inspires that passion in her students.

Terri Hilton, Director of Young Actors Ensemble, Chicago area:
Thank you, thank you for instilling confidence & happiness in the little mermaid! I knew that just a little time with you would help a lot!

Keri Krebsbach, Choral Director:
Thank you for judging (Wisconsin School Music Association Solo & Ensemble)! The students absolutely loved you as a judge, and I greatly admired how you worked with them and your feedback with them. The important thing is to encourage students to continue to sing and grow as a musician, and you definitely did that!

Thanks again for judging!

Eva Wright, Emeritus member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing:
Amber Nicole's teaching demonstrates the same kind of passion and know-how that her singing does. I have observed her working with very young and also middle-aged students. She is equally effective with the different ages. They respond enthusiastically to her directions. The techniques that she uses are sound and she obviously has had good training.
