Music Lessons in Lincoln Heights, OH

Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Music

For young beginner students, I will begin with the Farber or Alfred all-in-one books. Once the student has progressed through the book, we will move on international piano books. I have used many of the pedagogy books, and I know how to find best curriculum for getting students to where they need to be technically and musically. Most of my youngest students will play a few of the pieces from Alfred book. Read More

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Flute Clarinet

Each lesson plan will be tailored to fit the student’s needs. Personally, I think one of the most important parts of teaching music is to give students a complete grasp of performing music by combining theory into their lesson plan to make a well-rounded musician. Their lesson plan will depend on their playing level: I will make sure they have fundamentals down for beginner students, but also adding solo repertoire and etudes to teach virtuosity and good performance practice for the advanced students.

Instruments: Flute Piccolo

As stated previously, I have had roughly 3 years prior experience of teaching. I have taught a variety of ranges of players such as very beginner students and more advanced high school students. Why should I take lessons from Emily? As soon as you walk into my studio, you will be instantly included in my flute family! This means that you will be in a supportive environment that promotes quality music making. Read More

Private lessons are a great way to give your musician a fast-track to success! I design each lesson plan tailored to the students' individual needs. Progress is the key component for the pacing of each lesson. The goals set during and between every lesson are realistic and obtainable within a reasonable time frame. It's important for students to feel successful to ensure an enjoyable experience with music as well as motivating them towards future accomplishments. Read More

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola

For violin and viola lessons, I start my beginning students off with the violin/viola instrument hold as well as the bow hold. Once one has gotten the feel for holding the instrument as well as the bow, I teach the student the open strings of the instrument, followed by a one octave scale, with basic note reading exercises. After that, I begin the student on the Suzuki method. For piano students, I start by teaching beginning students three notes in treble clef (right hand) and bass clef (left hand). Read More

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet

I believe that fundamentals, as outlined above, are crucial to master for a student to truly understand their instrument. When a solid foundation has been established, it is much easier to approach those more complicated concepts. It then allows everything that a student do to become easier and truly move forward in their learning at an accelerated pace. For example, it will be easier to play a chromatically technical excerpt in a band audition when the student already knows how to play a full range chromatic scale. Read More
