Emma regularly gets the opportunity to play with the Royal Academy of Music Symphony Orchestra, having played a varied amount of repertoire - from film music with James Newton Howard in the Royal Albert Hall, to Mozart's Don Giovanni in Hackney Round Chapel. As an ex-student of Chetham's School of Music, notable performances include concerts and workshops at the Jersey Academy of Music, and chamber music performances at the Bridgewater Hall and for the RNCM Chamber Music Festival and Rickmansworth Festival.

Tutoring Experience:

Emma is currently a music curricular teacher for Sing Education, so is used to working with both children and adults. In 2021 Emma completed and passed her additional LRAM teaching qualification, alongside her extra 'Open Academy' outreach community music module.
Whilst a member of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, Emma coached and trained young aspiring musicians as part of the NYO Inspire programme. During her time at Chetham's Emma played a major role in the community music projects, where an ensemble of musicians would tour local primary and secondary schools to give masterclasses, gain teaching experience and perform a short concert. In 2015 Emma spent two weeks working with music students at the Jersey Academy, training and coaching them for a collaboration concert that year.

Tutoring Approach:

I thoroughly enjoy passing on my love for music through well-thought out, yet enjoyable and engaging lessons! I hope to keep my students motivated throughout their time studying with me, and hope that they enjoy seeing their progress as much as I do! My pupils must be somewhat flexible throughout the week as I maintain a varied freelance career alongside my teaching work. I will always let pupils know my availability in advance.
