Music Lessons
Emily welcomes students from Year 1 upwards. Lessons take place in her dedicated home music room in Yarnfield, Staffordshire. Weekday availability may be possible for adults and home-educated children. Online lessons are also available — please enquire.
Brass Instruments
Emily is a specialist brass teacher with a first-class performance background, including study at Chetham's School of Music and the Royal Northern College of Music. Lessons are available from complete beginner right through to conservatoire and university audition preparation. Whether your child is picking up a cornet for the first time or aiming for the top brass bands in the country, Emily will guide them every step of the way.
Piano & Keyboard
Piano and keyboard lessons are available from complete beginner through to Grade 5 (ABRSM or Trinity). Emily takes a holistic approach, ensuring students develop strong technique, musical understanding and a love of playing — not just exam preparation. Lessons are tailored to each student's age, learning style and musical interests.
GCSEs and A-Levels Tutoring
Emily has extensive experience as a secondary school music teacher, GCSE examiner for OCR and specialist brass examiner for MTB. She offers targeted support for GCSE and A-level students, including help with performance and composition coursework, and structured preparation for the listening examination. Sessions can be one-to-one or in small groups.
Music Theory
Music theory is woven into every instrumental lesson, but there are huge benefits to studying it as a standalone subject. Theory classes are usually taught in small groups of mixed ages and abilities, making them sociable, relaxed and great value. A strong understanding of theory underpins progress on any instrument and is essential for GCSE and A-level success.
Recorder
The recorder is a brilliant gateway instrument that builds breath control, reading skills and musicianship: skills that transfer seamlessly to other disciplines in the future. Recorder is learned in small groups, making it excellent value for a few friends to enjoy together.
