“I’ve been taking vocal lessons with Emma for the last couple years and it’s been an amazing journey for me! I came as a girl who was scared to be herself and speak English fluently (as it wasn’t my first language), and my goal was to get more self confident in my communication through singing. Emma was the perfect match for me! She supported me throughout the process of getting used to being ME!! Expanding my vocal skills, experimenting with my tone, pitch, even doing ear training. Emma always encouraged finding fun exercises to do! We picked the songs I liked and our classes were so much fun and full of excitement! A year into our weekly classes I felt like I didn’t what know my next intention was, but Emma suddenly came up with one – ‘Have you ever thought of writing your own song?’ she asked me. I was shocked because I didn’t think it was possible for non-professional musicians!! So we started and I loved it so much that now I’ve written 3 songs! Definitely a nice surprise! Thank you Emma for bringing me up from a shy speaker to not only a confident and fun communicator but also a very creative song writer who finally gets to be herself and be PROUD of it! Thank you and Forever grateful!:)” – Veronika

“Emma has been our son’s music teacher since he was 7. We chose Emma because she is not your typical music teacher. We did not want an institution led and highly structured formal learning environment for our son. What we loved about Emma was her ability to incorporate the fundamentals whilst integrating improvisation, freedom to experiment and expanding the repertoire of music beyond the classical realm. By age 11, our son was able to sing and play the piano to songs of Bieber, Bruno Mars and Tom Petty. It has been quite exciting to watch our son’s musical evolution under Emma’s guidance and we look forward to what the future holds for him. Thank you Emma for your patience and your absolute dedication as our son’s music teacher. He absolutely adores you! And so do we as we!!!” – J+E

‘My name is Paul Cafcae and I’m a musician. I had some vocal training when I was attending a specialist music school back in the USSR, but since coming to Canada I have been playing a lot of shows almost every weekend, and sometimes they go on for 2, 3 hours and I am the lead singer in those bands. So my previous vocal training did not really prepare me for singing for extended periods of time. So I signed up for vocal lessons with Emma, and as is a professional performing musician herself, Emma had been able to identify my needs. She developed a unique set of exercises that are geared specifically towards my needs. These exercises allowed me to reduce the strain on my vocals - now I can sing for all 3 hours without really feeling tired or feeling sore in my throat! I’m also much better at preparing for my shows, my pitch got better, through the ear training exercises I can sing better and improvise better now. I can also sing better harmonies with other musicians when we perform together. Overall, it’s been a very joyful experience working with Emma. She really listens to my needs. Whether you’re a professional or just at the beginning of your career, I would recommend working with Emma. Try her out, I know you’re not going to regret it!’
