Emily’s love for performing is matched by her passion for education. She has enjoyed teaching private piano, flute, and cello lessons for the last four years, and has experience teaching in classroom settings in Florida. As a second-generation music educator, Emily grew up witnessing what a remarkable impact music education can make, and maintains that she learns as much from her students as they learn from her. Emily is an alumna of Manatee High School’s music program, during which time she was a member of Florida All-State Band, NAfME’s All-National Honor Band, Music For All’s Honor Band of America, and was awarded the E. James Forssell Outstanding Music Student Scholarship. Above all else, her goal as an artist and educator is to share the joy that music brings, always.
