    From building blocks for beginners, to professional training for the contemporary artist

    With years of experience live and in the studio, I specialize in teaching students theory, chords and song structures. Students will progress quickly by learning to play chords and scales, and improvise. I balance traditional sight reading with playing by ear and following chord charts. I am the perfect teacher for someone looking for a new approach to learning piano, and/or someone looking to play in a band or accompany their singing. I have played in the studio for Katy Perry and live on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

    Emily is an outstanding instructor. She explains everything thoroughly and really listens. I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher - I walked out feeling more prepared and eager for the journey as her student. You can tell she loves teaching and her energy is contagious. I loved every second so much I immediately signed up for recurring classes!

    Emily's teaching style increases my son's confidence. He easily understands her lessons and makes instant improvements. He loves singing and looks forward to his lessons with Emily.

    Emily is very nice and easy to talk to. I am usually very uncomfortable singing in front of a person but she made it easy. I was still nervous but definitely sang like I usually do when I'm alone or at karaoke. Starts off with the basics and gives you a good understanding of how singing works.
