Welcome to
Hello! I'm Emma and I'm a professional Clarinet teacher, I offer lessons to students of all ages and abilities in Sheffield.
I currently offer online music tuition for clarinet, flute, recorder, and saxophone for beginners up to advanced students, with a view to continue 'in person' lessons at a Sheffield music shop in September 2020 (as long as it is safe to do so!).
Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced player, exam driven or learning just for fun, do not hesitate to contact me to see how I can help you on your musical journey.

In my woodwind lessons, I aim to include conventional note reading and playing, duets/ensemble playing, improvisation, and composition to encourage my students to become well-rounded musicians.
I like to tailor my lesson plans to my students individual goals and learning needs, whether you want to play your favourite music or take your playing to professional level, I will tailor my teaching and lesson plans to you and your goals.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I teach students of all ages and abilities from 8+ how to play the Clarinet.
I have enjoyed teaching pupils since my first position as a volunteer woodwind tutor (at a West Yorkshire music hub during my music degree). Whilst completing my PGCE in Secondary Music with Specialist Instrumental Teaching, I was taught to teach music 'musically', and to teach music through various means; in my woodwind lessons.
During my PGCE and NQT years, I have been able to ascertain what is required by exam boards for GCSE music, so I can offer tuition to help with the listening, analysis, and elements of the composition projects students are asked to complete. Send me a message to see how I can help you with your studies.
I am a qualified music teacher, having achieved a Distinction in PGCE in Secondary Music with Specialist Instrumental Teaching (Manchester Metropolitan and the Royal Northern College of Music), a BMus Music Degree – First Class with Hons (University of Huddersfield), Grade 8 Clarinet and Grade 5 Theory.
With ABRSM theory, I have been offering 'pit-stop' lessons for grade 5 theory candidates; these are for parts of the theory paper for which they need additional instruction. I am now in a position where I can offer a set of lessons to work through each task which they are required to complete in the exam paper. Send me a message for more information and to find out what style of lesson would work best for you.
I have had a large amount of experience teaching and performing in a huge variety of styles, however I specialise in Classical, Jazz, Contemporary, Pop covers.
Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced player, exam driven or learning just for fun, do not hesitate to contact me to see how I can help you.
