Introduction: I help students, music enthusiasts, and professionals alike to reach their full potential, regardless of where they are in their piano journey.
I am a professional musician with a bachelor's degree in piano performance from the Eastman School of Music, a master's degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music, and a master's of education degree from Columbia University. In addition to being a seasoned performer, I am also a passionate pedagogue with over ten years of experience.
In a typical lesson, I address topics such as how to practice effectively, how to attain clarity while remaining relaxed, how to convey desired musical ideas through phrasing, to name a few. As an experienced teacher, I am able to pinpoint issues and help resolve them quickly in lessons. Eventually, my goal is to help students achieve the highest level of musicality and expression through technical autonomy and independent thinking.
I have prepared students for certification exams (i.e. ABRSM and NYSSMA), pre-college and conservatory auditions. My middle and high school students have gone on to major conservatories and pre-college programs. My adult students have achieved their musical goals and been able to play pieces they never imagined they could just a couple lessons ago.
Lessons take place remotely at my studio in Short Hills, New Jersey, where I have a Yamaha baby grand piano and professional audio/video equipment.
Please feel free to message me with any questions you might have. I am dedicated to teaching and am more than happy to help. I look forward to hearing from you!

Emma is a knowledgeable, energetic and fun teacher who imparts good techniques and at the same time instills a lifelong appreciation of music. She is extremely professional and responsive yet warm in her communication style. I would certainly recommend Emma to any one who has always wanted to learn piano no matter what age! I always am looking forward to and certainly enjoy every lesson I have had with Emma, consistent highlight of my week!

I've been incredibly fortunate to have a piano teacher as exceptional as Emma. With a solid background from prestigious schools, her skill as a pianist is awe-inspiring. What sets her apart is her knack for explaining techniques and musical nuances in a way that's easy to grasp. She's remarkably patient, which has made my learning experience enjoyable. Every lesson is tailored to my musical interests, making me look forward to each session.
Being an adult student, committing to piano lessons can be a challenge. However, learning from Emma has been surprisingly easy due to her understanding and flexible approach. She’s made it effortless to fit lessons into my busy schedule, which has been a game-changer for me. Her kindness and expertise have not only improved my playing but also ignited my passion for music.

I’m an adult student and I love my lessons with Emma! Emma is professional, extremely knowledgeable, and always has great feedback without ever feeling intimidating. I grew up feeling anxious playing in front of instructors but Emma creates a warm environment that focuses on how I can grow as a musician and achieve my personal goals. She’s helped me in every step, from selecting repertoire and suggesting effective practice routines, to getting me concert ready. It’s always a special treat getting to hear her play during our lessons too! I highly recommend Emma as a piano teacher.
