About Emily K.
5.0
(14)
I offer online tutoring in Violin, Ear Training, and Music Theory. I am a multifaceted musician with a passion for music education, theory, performance, and the intersection of all three of those areas.
As a string teacher, I have taught at Centereach High School, Saint Mary’s School in Cortland, NY, the Northport Summer Music Program, and the NYSSSA School of Orchestral Studies. I also maintain a private studio of beginner-advanced students. I have experience with various teaching methodologies, including rote learning and the Suzuki method. I also have experience coaching chamber ensembles. As a violinist, I have performed in prestigious ensembles such as the Eastman School of Music Philharmonia, the Brevard Music Center Orchestra, and the GRAMMY-nominated National Orchestral Institute Philharmonic. No matter your age or ability level, I will cater my instruction to your specific needs and help you refine your string technique and musicianship.
As a music theory and aural skills instructor, I have taught classes at the Eastman School of Music, University of Massachusetts Amherst, and the NYSSSA School of Orchestral Studies. I am also a published author in the Journal of Music Theory Pedagogy, and am a volunteer tutor on their website. I have experience teaching all levels of theory and aural skills, from fundamentals to post-tonal.

I didn’t understand secondary dominants and figured bass, but Emily helped me decipher it. She was very friendly, and provided thorough explanations, and I’m doing much better with my theory classes now thanks to her!

I had major performance anxiety surrounding tests and auditions. Emily was always very patient with me and knew the difference between my poor singing and when it was just my anxiety. She never made me feel bad about messing up and throughout the year I became so comfortable with her I only stuttered on really difficult sight singing. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a teacher that is not only great at teaching but also incredibly considerate.

I had Emily as a TA for aural skills for 2 years and she worked with me both online and in person. Throughout my ear training, she was always supportive and patient with me as she helped me through all the material I struggled with. 10/10.
