Hi there! My name is Emily, and I’m an Ottawa-born musician with over 15 years of experience teaching violin and piano. I’ve been teaching privately since 2012 and I welcome students of all ages and capabilities. I have previously performed with the Parkdale and Kanata Symphony Orchestras, as well as numerous string and vocal ensembles. As a professional with ADHD myself, I love to work with neurodivergent students of all ages and specialize in beginner lessons. I focus lessons on my student’s personal growth by helping them develop a deeper and more meaningful connection to music, along with improving their skills. I am energetic, friendly, patient, and I am ready to help make all your musical dreams come true.

Students (Parents for younger students) will need to register for a free MusicTeacherNotes account. If you are a current student of mine at Barefoot Music and haven't registered your MusicTeacherNotes account, please click the orange button below. You will use the studio code (DUAEF) to connect your family account to my teacher account.
MusicTeacherNotes is free for students. They have an upgradable option available, called the Gold Plan, but upgrading is not required. I can manage our music lessons whether you use their free account or their Gold account.
MusicTeacherNotes helps music teachers manage their students and helps students learn music faster. By empowering parents and students to get much more out of private music lessons, learning music becomes a better experience for everyone.
