Emily Helena Rose, Mezzo Soprano And Multi-Instrumentalist
About
Emily teaches private lessons in Voice, Violin, Piano, Ukulele, and Guitar. She has ample experience teaching all ages (pre-k to adult).
Her teaching philosophy revolves around fostering a sincere love of music and encouraging students to see their musical abilities as a form of self-expression. She believes that music introduces students to the PROCESS of learning and setting attainable goals. We live in a very “result-oriented” culture and music encourages a love of self-improvement as well as an understanding of personal growth that transcends the barriers of pre-conceived success. Music is a way for students of all ages to learn the appreciation and love of hard work and commitment without the pressure of attaining a tangible result.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Voice: We typically spend a few minutes discussing experience and goals. Every lesson begins with at least 10 minutes of warm ups. These are exercises for you to practice on your own to better understand you rinstrument and condition your voice. Then we will work on repertoire. For first lessons, I may ask you to bring something you are comfortable singing. If you are at a loss, we will begin a song together so I can intrduceyou to my process of learning a song.
We will discuss breath, suport, resonance, stamina, and expression. I teach singing from a physical standpoint. The idea is that we can depnd o nour bodies to support and replicate sounds and not so much on our ears for direction.
Violin: We will discuss your experience and goals in advance. We usually start with scales and exercises that pertain to the repertoire we would like to ofcus on during the lesson. I have some easy to remember tricks and techniques for beginngers that make position a breeze.
Guitar: I usually take beginning to intermediate guitar studfents that are looking for a solid foundation in rhythm, reading, and early lead work. I am not a shredder myself, so I usually point metal lead guitarists another way. I do have some great recommendations for teachers, so let me know! We will begin with introducing tab and staff reading and connecting them with solid fretboard mapping skills.
Piano: I never use the same book for all of my piano students. We often have a combination of skills we are working on at the beginning of piano playing. I try to introduce throy as early as possible, and get young students learning chords soon.
