About
With more than 25 years of experience teaching students of every age, Emmanuelle Scully strives to instill the love for music and the violin, to each student age 4 - to adult. She received her degrees in violin teaching and performance from a European music conservatory (The Netherlands), and has taught and performed in various settings in Europe, and for the last 25 years in the US.
She wrote and illustrated her published book available on Amazon: “Sing on the Violin: Rhythms and Songs for the Young Beginner,” a method designed for young beginning violinists to help and ease them into the early challenges of learning the violin. The student starts to learn through rhythm patterns with visual cues and attractive pictures. This help them to focus and enjoy the process of learning the violin in those first challenging weeks.
Emmanuelle enjoys teaching students at every stage of their progress, from beginners to advanced players. Having a variety of students of different stages in life whether very young or adult has always been a welcome challenge. She is able to work in a playful and relaxed manner with the younger student, gradually using a more focused and targeted approach with the older ones, while trying to keep everyone engaged and interested, with each person's specific abilities and goals in mind.
The focus in all of her lessons is on technique and musical expression, while using a positive, encouraging approach, with the goal of having students discover and enjoy their own talents and potential along their musical journey.
Emmanuelle offers a free trial lesson.
