About Emily
Emily’s goal as a Suzuki violin teacher is not only to develop the violinist and musician in every student but to nurture the entire person and support the development of life skills such as coordination, self-evaluation and motivation, listening, patience, and perseverance. The Suzuki method is structured in such a way that new ideas are presented in small steps so the student can succeed and be proud of their achievements with every new skill. Old skills serve as building blocks for new material so the child is always developing a larger vocabulary. Review and refinement of skills is integrated into daily practice and teaching through review of repertoire. With positive guidance and support, the student develops confidence and a strong self-esteem.
Emily is certified in Suzuki violin pedagogy for books 1-5. She completed Book 1 and 2 certification with Carrie Hummel-Reuning at Hartt School of Music, Books 3 and 4 with Ed Kreitman and Book 5 with Kimberly Meier-Sims at Ithaca College.
In addition to teaching students of all ages, Emily is a Suzuki Parent to her eleven year old son and maintains an active performance schedule as a soloist, orchestral and chamber musician. She performs frequently at the Middlebury Town Hall Theater, Robison Hall and Mead Chapel at Middlebury College, and in churches, barns, town greens, living rooms, recital halls and community centers across New England. Recent performances include duet recitals with cellist Brian Donat, and solo performances with organist George Matthew Jr. and pianists Sadie Danforth, Becky Metcalfe, Cynthia Huard, Jorge Martin and Sarah Trouslard and with the Middlebury College Community Chorus Orchestra. She is a founding member of The Addison, a group of professional and passionate chamber musicians based in Addison County, Vermont who perform most frequently as a string quartet.
I started teaching in high school when I put an ad in the paper offering my services! I have always taught, but have taught full-time since 2012.

The Suzuki Method combines a music teaching method with a philosophy, embracing the total development of the child, which follows Dr. Shinichi Suzuki’s guiding principle, “character first, ability second,” also known as the Mother-Tongue Approach. The Suzuki Violin Method involves a combination of weekly private lessons and regular group classes. The Suzuki approach is based on the belief that students can learn to play music in the same way they easily learn their native language – through listening, repetition, motivation, encouragement, parental involvement and love. Parents take an active role in the education process by attending all lessons and groups and practicing with their child at home.The goal of a Suzuki teacher is not only to develop the violinist and musician in every student but to nurture the entire child and teach important life skills such as coordination, self-evaluation and motivation, listening skills, patience, and perseverance. The Suzuki method is structured in such a way that new ideas are presented in small steps so the child can succeed and be proud of their achievements with every new skill. Old skills serve as building blocks for new material so the child is always developing a larger vocabulary. With positive guidance from the parent and teacher, the child develops confidence and a strong self-esteem.
Weekly private lessons are offered year round to students of all abilities and ages. Emily teaches from her studio in Cornwall, Vermont and at the Middlebury Community Music Center which is located in the Middlebury Community House on Main Street in Middlebury, Vermont.
I work with students of all ages and abilities. My youngest students are three and my oldest students are in their eighties. I work with beginners as well as passionate amateurs.
Ask your teacher about potential opportunities for playing your instrument with others. Young children (and adults too) generally are not thrilled about practicing. But playing music with and for others is a real joy and can be a wonderful practice motivator!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Music education requires a commitment by the whole family to support practice. Our lives are busy, but there is usually time to set aside for daily practice, attending concerts, participating in group classes and chamber music sessions and taking lessons. Spend time imagining when and how to fit practice into your family schedules.
