What musical training did Marisa Abela undergo?

To carry off the incomparable vocal talent of Amy, Marisa trained "daily for hours" to sing throughout the movie and the director said she was able to "inhabit" the 'Valerie' hitmaker.

Sam Taylor-Johnson said: “Discovering a talent like Marisa Abela is akin to finding gold dust. The moment she looked into the lens at her first audition I knew she was the perfect actor to play Amy Winehouse. She put in an enormous amount of work, attention to every detail and she trained daily for hours to be able to sing throughout the entire movie. She doesn’t impersonate Amy, she inhabits her.”

She also had guitar lessons and worked with a vocal coach.
