Singing - piano - music theory lessons, given in Ede (in English or Dutch)

From 88.31 C$ /h

Hallo! My name's Emi - I'm a British musician living in the Netherlands. I have been incredibly lucky to have had some incredible musical experiences... Some highlights including performing for the BBC/Ronnie Scott's TV Nights/O2 VIP Lounge/support for acts such as JP Cooper, and founding the Limelight Sessions (international monthly music nights, with acts such as Nick Wilson/Joe Buck/Hannah Grace, and many more).... But my biggest passion is teaching. I have 7 years of teaching experience (singing/piano/theory/English language), and a 100% pass rate in students' exams - from classical to pop music. I teach all ages/levels, and will tailor lessons to your own goals and musical visions.
If you'd like to know more, or want to set up a taster lesson, then I'd love to hear from you!

Hopelijk tot snel,
Emi :)

About Me

I suppose you could say that music is in my blood. Growing up in a family of musicians, some of my earliest memories are of toddling around my mother’s own music school, back in England - I was like a kid in a candy shop, eagerly involved with anything and everything that I could be! My early background was largely classical - I was really lucky to have some amazing training from a young age in cathedral youth choirs, orchestras, classical voice training, and had achieved grade 8 ABRSM diploma in both piano and singing by age 14. Around that time, I discovered a love for songwriting, and in the years that followed I was lucky to have music take me through many adventures UK wide. Some particular highlights include performing at the O2 VIP Lounge (Bastille pre-show), BBC Introducing, Sofar Sounds, Ronnie Scott’s TV Nights, selling out my own headline shows, and supports for wonderful artists such as JP Cooper, as well as radio play (including in-session with Demot O’Leary on BBC Radio2), and publishing music through major label Sony.

As well as making music, I have big passions in other places - teaching being one of them. I have 7 years experience in teaching (all ages/standards), and a 100% pass rate through classical/music theatre/pop/theory grades. I’m also a huge language lover, and am a licenced English teacher (and native speaker) - I love being able to use this to help students with their English pronunciation.

If I've learned anything over the past 7 years, it's that no 2 students are the same, nor do they want the same things from the lessons. That's why I tailor my lessons to each individual student, so that we can, together, realise *your* goals and targets as a musician. Maybe it's an old hobby that you miss, maybe you're looking to go into the profession, or have a conservatoire audition coming up... Maybe you want to try music out for the first time! I'm here to guide you through it all. I can't wait to get started! :)
