About the lesson
Lessons are tailored to each student's individual needs and goals. I am patient yet tenacious when it comes to establishing a healthy technique and set-up, so my students can play with balance, ease and confidence. I want to help my students deepen their musical sensitivity, take ownership of the practice-process and find their own artistic voice.
We typically explore music from the Western classical tradition together, as well as some fiddle and folk musics. Scales, arpeggios and etudes and exercises are used to build technical proficiency and understanding of basic music theory.
I am a registered Suzuki Method violin and viola instructor, and incorporate many ideas from this educational philosophy in my non-Suzuki teaching. I also have helped students prepare for the Royal Conservatory of Music examinations. I enjoy working with the clear structure and guidelines of these methods, setting clear and tangible goals to achieve!

Emily and I have known each other for the past 3 years. As a fellow teacher and professional violinist, I can say that Emily is a wonderful educator and musician, and I have referred several students to her over the past few years. She is kind and patient but also knows how to challenge her students to keep improving. She is dedicated to continually expanding her knowledge of pedagogy, and regularly attends Suzuki teacher trainings and workshops. Emily is very creative in her approach to her musicianship and I would strongly recommend her to anyone seeking a violin instructor.
As one of Emily’s colleagues, I can attest to her thoughtfulness and dedication as a teacher and musician. She brings a high level of care and consideration to her teaching and seeks to provide the best possible experience for each student. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Emily to any potential students!

Emily has a lot of experience teaching violin and viola. I've known her for over four years, both as a teacher and as a high level performer. She is very patient with kids, which is important for such a demanding instrument. At the same time holds a professional standard for playing, which helps the students improve quickly and makes them happy with their progress. I highly recommend Emily to be a part of any child's music educating process. They would gain a fun, positive and calm teacher!
