Introduction: Hi! I run an online music studio, Erekson Studio, which has faculty that teaches voice, piano, guitar, viola, and composition. Lessons are catered to the student's needs and interests and include technique, repertoire, improvisation, ear-training, theory, reading, songwriting, composition, collaboration, and performance.

I have five children who have all taken lessons for multiple instruments. Erekson Studio is by far the most creative, helpful, and knowledgeable music studio we've ever used. Emily helped my daughter learn piano in a way that worked for her, by personalizing the instruction and understanding what made my daughter excited about music. Emily's passion for music and for teaching kids the language of music makes her my top choice for musical instruction. I highly recommend Erekson Studio!

Emily taught both my daughter and son. She is a fabulous pianist and accomplished musician and her love of music shows. As a teacher she is creative and flexible and is able to see the unique needs of her students and help support them in their learning. She taught the kids to not only be capable pianists but well rounded musicians. We highly recommended Emily as a piano teacher.

Emily is personable and works well with my 6 year old. I like her alternative approach and flexible nature.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Lessons start at $129/mo

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I teach piano and music in a way that follows how one naturally learns their native language: listening, imitation, playing by ear, improvising, basic composition, before reading and writing. I have students spend 6 mo to a year playing by ear before moving on to reading (depending on the student's age and level). Technique is taught from day one, beginning with basics and then moving into more advanced technique.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    -Masters of Music degree in piano performance from Brigham Young University, studying with Dr. Irene Peery-Fox -MTNA certified -2 years Kodaly training -Developed curriculum for over 250 students (grades 1-6) as a music specialist at Carden Memorial School -Taught piano and ear-training classes at Brigham Young University -4 years experience working in public and private schools (ages 4-14) -10+ years experience teaching piano and music through my studio -performed in various cities in Utah; Pilsen, Czech Republic; Paris, France; and here in New York City
