I teach according to each student's pace of learning, tailoring lessons to their age. Music theory games and other fun elements are incorporated into the lessons for the younger students. Once the fundamentals are learned, teen students are encouraged to make some of their own music selections with my guidance and approval. Read More
Instruments: Piano
Watching someone's face light up the minute they completed a song with small amount of mistakes brings a smile to my face. I remind them it's not about learning the song and mastering it right away, but rather taking time to be comfortable with what they are doing. I get to know my students so I know how fast or slow we need to work and what interests them so I can motivate them along the way. Read More

Years of experience have molded me into a highly flexible teacher, able to adapt quickly and easily to the needs of different learners. Read More

My name is Emily, and I offer piano lessons for children in my Chula Vista home, or by arrangement in your San Diego area home. I am a substitute teacher who works at the preschool, kindergarten, and elementary schools in Coronado, Silver Strand, and Chula Vista. I have an extensive background in music, singing, and piano; my family is filled with musicians, and after growing up playing piano and performing in musicals and with college choirs, I have happily settled into a career of sharing my love of music with children.

Instruments: Piano Flute
I've had a love for music since I was a child, when my father played classical recordings at home every day. I've played piano and flute since age 10, and the enjoyment of it just keeps increasing! From elementary school through college I performed on flute, including as a soloist, in bands and orchestras; and as an adult I'm continuing that. I've performed in several orchestras in San Diego, and I'm a charter member, section leader, and soloist in the San Diego Concert Band. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
Beginner players will use the Premier Performance book by Ed Sueta. This book is used by most band programs and it will help each student with the basic music fundamentals to help them succeed in the process. Intermediate Players will use the Smith-Yoder-Bachman Band Method book. This book allows intermediate players to explore more on their horns and to play around with alternate fingering patterns. Advance Players will play from the Lazarus method book. This book will prepare for recitals and college level experiences.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have had several students make the all west honors band. My students are very aware on how important it is to practice once they leave and go home. They all succeed in the process through following the instructions to improve over time. A good performance and lessons will always lead to success later on in life. Everything pays off in the long-run because teachers work hard to make sure their students are learning everything that is needed to move on to the next level. Some of my students I work with privately are section leaders of their band programs.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master on the clarinet is when its time to cross the bridge. This is the time that the student is ready to play in a different octave on their instrument and have to learn how to cross from one octave to the next octave. In order to accomplish this goal, the student have to work hard to make it happen and with the help of the teacher the student will cross the bridge. This technique is a struggle, but with great practice, motivation, and determination it will prosper overtime.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Learning how to play the clarinet was one of the most amazing accomplishments in my life. At times it became very hard and I wanted to give up, but as I continue to face my obstacles I begin to overcome them through my music. I am also proud of being a teacher and being able to teach students how to do the exact same thing I did when I was their age. Traveling from different cities and states being able to do what I love is another accomplishment that makes me smile. Remember things that you have a passion for will always be an accomplishment that will make a person proud.
