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 ( Brabants 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.

    We love Emanuelles studio and her instruction. My husband and I both come from musical families, so finding a strong teacher was a top priority, when our daughter first expressed interested in learning the violin. Emanuelle has exceeded our expectations.
    As a professional musician, shes knowledgeable, kind, talented and goes above and beyond to make the learning experience enjoyable.
    The cherry on top is that shes written, illustrated and published the first book she uses for beginners. She knows the content first-hand and even tells stories along the way.
    Wed give her 10 stars, if we could.

    I am so grateful to have found Emmanuelle! I played the violin for a year when I was a child and found myself in my late 20s wanting to learn it again. She is the most patient, kind and encouraging teacher, and she is a beautifully skilled violinist with fantastic methods of teaching. I could not have asked for anyone better, and I highly recommend her to anyone who is wanting to learn or who already plays and wants to further develop/maintain their skills.

    As an adult learning the violin, I could not have asked for better instruction. Emmanuelles study program includes outstanding underlying basic techniques and best practices coupled with flexibility in song choices that keep learning fun and fast paced. I look forward to every lesson because I learn so much each time. Friends and family are amazed at my progress thanks to Emmanuelles professional and engaging teaching abilities! -N. Conti

    Emmanuelle is a brilliant musician and yet has the ability to teach someone who has never picked up the instrument. She keeps the lesson fun and interesting, especially for my easily distracted child. I wish we would have found her years ago! I highly recommend her!

    At 70 years old I decided I wanted to learn to play the violin as
    a way to stimulate my brain and also learn a new hobby.
    The violin is an incredibly challenging instrument to learn, but with Emmanuelles guidance, encouragement, and suggested techniques, I feel I am advancing at a good pace.
    As a student, my role is to practice regularly, (preferably daily), and be patient with my level of progress.
    I meet with Emmanuelle once a week at her studio which is a very warm and inviting environment.
    I recommend Emmanuelle highly, as she is a first class instructor
    and her breath of knowledge and professionalism is outstanding.

    Ms Emmanuel is a great teacher. Very patient and methodical. She makes learning to play the violin fun while encouraging her students to perform at their best. She tailors lessons to each students level , talent and abilities and nurtures their growth and progress. She introduced my daugher to rythyms on the voilin using animal names. Now my daughter can bow songs on the violin . My daughter passed her recent ASTACAP violin test with confidence and pride.

    Frequently asked questions

    First lesson is free. I evaluate the student's level of playing if he or she has any experience at all, and discuss their short and long term goals. I adjust my approach to every specific age group and level of experience. I encourage the student to practice using clear instruction and practical tips. My goal is to pass on the enjoyment and excitement of making music, and discovering ones potential.

    I have a violin teaching and performance degree of a European music conservatory. Over 25 years of experience in both teaching and performing. I

    I have been playing the violin since age 5 and it was a natural progression to turn it eventually into a professional career.

    All ages and levels. from 4 to 80.

    Talk to the teacher in person or over the phone.

    Schedule a trial lesson to see if you feel comfortable with the teacher personally and if the teaching style fits you.

    The student should tell the teacher about his/her experience.

    What music style they want to learn, and make sure the teacher is comfortable with that. (not everyone teaches all styles)

    If a teacher has a classical background or other.

    Ask what they can expect in the first few months.
