I’m Miss Emily, a piano teacher based in NJ/NY.
I’ve been teaching piano for over 10 years and am proud to be a Steinway & Sons Education Partner. I previously served as adjunct faculty at New York University. My students range from age 3 to adults, from beginners to advanced pianists, and come from all around the world.
I believe in celebrating individuality in learning. My teaching style is hands-on and fully tailored to each student’s unique needs and goals. I strive to make lessons fun, approachable, and inspiring—whether you’re learning classical music, popular songs, or diving into music theory.

I can't say enough good things about taking learning with Miss Emily. My daughter and son recently started pianolessons having no music instruction prior to this and are just loving it! Miss Emily is patient and creative. I've had a very positive experience so far. Highly recommended!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
There is no "standard formula" to lessons. Each student has their own unique background, needs, and goals. Lessons tend to be somewhat casual but are structured in such a way as to meet the unique requirements of the student. I will discuss students' background & goals and plan for their course of study.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received my master's degree in piano performance at New York University and was an adjunct faculty at New York University Piano Studies. I have the experience of teaching piano with students ranging from 3 years old to adult with all levels for 10+ years.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
First, I will discuss with students their background and goals
, as well as what their need is. Then, I will plan for their course of study.
