About Emily L.
Hello! My name is Emily (she/her/hers). I am a classically trained musician offering online bassoon lessons for beginner to advanced students as well as saxophone lessons for beginning to intermediate students. I have eight years of teaching experience in both group and individual settings.
I am currently a student at USC's Thornton School of Music studying with Shawn Mouser, associate principal bassoon of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. I hold a bachelors from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and a masters from UCLA. During my schooling I have studied with top musicians in the orchestral and film music industries. Other major teachers include John Steinmetz (LA based musician and composer), Stephen Paulson (San Francisco Symphony), and Valentin Martchev (San Diego Symphony).
I have performed around the world, including in England, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and China. I perform regularly with the Burbank Chamber Music Society and am an active freelance musician in the Southern California area.
My diverse experiences as a musician and teacher, coupled with my interdisciplinary approach to music performance make me a great guide for young musicians on their own unique musical journey.
I look forward to hearing from you!
