Teaching Philosophy
I strongly believe that all people need music in their lives, and that music theory should not be a guiding force in artistry but rather a way to explain our aural experiences of music.
I've worked with students of all ages, from young beginners to adults, and from that experience I built my teaching around meeting each student where they are — starting with the fundamentals and building toward real analysis, composition, and performance. My lessons blend ear training, sight-reading, and hands-on composition so students leave with the ability to hear, sing, and write the music they're immersed in.
Emily continues to produce and share her music beyond the classroom, including this K-pop-inspired remix produced under her artist name, emilybeats.
She remains passionate about helping each student build a real, lasting relationship with music theory — one they can hear, sing, and use.
