Emma has been playing the piano since the age of ten. However, her interest in music initially began earlier when she joined a local homeschool choir, which she continued throughout high school. Through both choir and private piano lessons Emma received a comprehensive music education. Emma participated in vocal contests and various piano events during her high school years. Specifically, she participated in local piano festivals, performed in honors recitals, and completed TMTA theory examinations (Grade 12) and the Royal Conservatory of Music practical and theory examinations. For the past three years, she has been a member of the National Piano Guild.
Emma is dedicated to fostering her teaching skills, and she is always excited to learn and grow through the experiences and mentoring of other accomplished musicians and pedagogues. She has completed the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) Elementary Piano Teaching Course and the Piano Safari Pedagogy Course, attended the Music Teacher’s National Association (MTNA) Collegiate Chapters Symposium, and is involved in the study of piano pedagogy at her university. Emma is also a member of the National Guild of Piano Teachers and is working through membership processes of multiple music organizations. Currently, Emma is pursuing a degree in music with an emphasis in piano at Texas Woman’s University, where she studies under Dr. Richard Shuster. She is also part of the TWU vocal ensembles. She looks forward to sharing her love of music with her students!
