About Emily
Hi, I'm Emily! Music theory is the subject that completely changed the way I hear and understand music, and for the past 7 years I have been sharing that same transformation with students of all ages. I work with beginners learning to read their very first notes all the way through intermediate students tackling advanced topics like songwriting, orchestration, musicology, and music production theory, and I bring the same level of clarity, patience, and genuine enthusiasm to every level.
I teach theory in a way that is always connected to real music — actual songs, real chord progressions, and styles and genres my students already love — because I know from experience that theory clicks fastest when it feels relevant and directly useful. I cover everything from absolute basics all the way through AP Music Theory level content, songwriting, orchestration, film scoring, and music production theory, and I always make sure every concept is fully understood before we move forward. Over 7 years I have helped students pass school and AP Music Theory exams with strong results, supported young songwriters in completing and performing their first original compositions, and guided students through advanced orchestration and musicology topics for high school and early college coursework. I was honored with a Music Theory Excellence Award by the Colorado Music Educators Association in 2024. My online one-to-one live lessons are clear, visual, engaging, and always built around making theory feel exciting and genuinely useful. Let's make theory finally make perfect sense!
