About Emily
With 11+ years experience, Emily is a professional musician and teacher. Emily performs her original folk dance music with her band Emily & The Simons and delivers interactive music sessions in care homes and SEND schools. She offers tuition in violin, piano and singing and can also help with music theory.
She was classically trained but has moved more into the sphere of folk music and improvisation, so her teaching reflects this; she is able to teach classical violin (and piano and voice), offering a good grounding in technique and can take you through exams if required, but is equally comfortable and enthusiastic about teaching folk tunes/style and songs from different traditions by ear and likes to encourage improvisation and freedom of expression in her students. She is very much student-led and happy to adapt to whatever approach suits each individual. Her main aim is that each session should be enjoyable, enriching and inspiring and that her students develop their own musical voice, while having solid technique to enable them to reach their potential.
As well as individual singing lessons, she also has experience in leading community choirs and coaching small groups to sing together in harmony. Her sessions are uplifting, fun and soulful.
She teaches primarily from her music room at home but is also happy to travel (up to 4km) to students by arrangement, schedule permitting.
Availablility:
Currently Emily has availability during daytimes from Mon-Fri, with some possible slots available during weekday evenings. Currently Emily does not have any availability during weekends.
