Emma (Piano & Keyboard Teacher):
Emma started playing the keyboard when she was just 4 years old after getting one for Christmas. By the age of 5 she started lessons with a teacher local to her in Chelmsford and she quickly progressed. She remembers learning my first combination of notes in my right hand and thinking that I was flying with it when she learnt my first chord in my left hand. She soon went on to do my first exam and carried on until I got to my teaching diploma which I passed in 2000 with The Victoria College of Music, London. In the middle of it all she also passed grades 1-6 in the Theory of Music. She loved every bit of learning to play and thinks that everyone should have the opportunity to feel the same no matter what age they are.
Emma has been teaching the Keyboard and Piano for over 17 years and enjoys teaching a variety of clients. She makes sure that every lesson is fun, progressive and with direction.
