Why Levelup with Emma?
Train with a world-class pianist & Vocal coach
Learn from a graduate-level alum of The Juilliard School. As an active performer both as a soloist and collaborative pianist, I’ve performed across the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Work with top institutions including Carnegie Hall, New York City Ballet, Palm Beach Opera, the American Opera Project, and more.
Become a Complete Musician
Learning to play the piano is just the beginning of what can be a lifelong love and understanding of music. Together, we’d explore the many aspects of music that will enrich you or your child’s experience, and skill set. This includes:
Music theory
Music history and appreciation
Sight-reading
Improvisation and ear training
Learn from a highly experienced educator
Have the peace of mind knowing that your journey at the piano lies in experienced, well-equipped hands. With over 15 years of experience teaching ages 5 to adult, and raised by two music educators, I have well-vetted pedagogical experience.

*Virtual lessons are also available for beginners.
*On certain days of the week, and schedule permitting: if you live in Uptown Manhattan or the UWS, and have a piano in your own home that you would love to use for in-person lessons instead of coming to the studio in Washington Heights, I do perform in-home lessons as well. Just mention this within your inquiry, if this is what you’d prefer, or would like to know more.
