As a teacher, Emma hopes to inspire musicians pursuing their passion and provide an opportunity to continue their learning. Music is for everyone and should be a fun, fulfilling craft to learn. In her lessons, instruction will be individualized based on the students needs and learning techniques. Students will continue to learn about their instrument and how to improve their playing through different styles, basic music theory, and overall becoming a well-rounded musician.
