Ever enthusiastic about the art of creative teaching, Emily is sought after for her music-centered approach and her considerable experience. She was guest teacher for historical trombone at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in 2023-4, and was the first student to obtain a Pedagogy Master’s in Historical Trombone at the same institution, under the joint tutelage of Catherine Motuz and Michael Büttler.

Emily is committed to combining her knowledge of historical performance practice with contemporary pedagogy, and is fascinated by how this exchange can offer multi-disciplinary benefits. Her successful Master’s thesis on how a historical approach to teaching can foster more imaginative instrumental lessons was recognised in 2024 by the prestigious Walter and Corina Christen-Marchal-Stiftung award (CH), and in 2023 she was named winner of Early Music Vancouver’s Emerging Artist Competition (CA) for her focus on vocality when teaching.

Emily enjoys teaching on numerous courses and workshops, including on La Furta’s summer and winter Workshops for Early Music (CH), and at events organised by the Eastern Early Music Forum (UK). She works regularly with the modern and historical trombone classes of the Musik Akademie Basel Musikschule (CH), and maintains a private teaching studio. Emily also holds a teaching licentiate (LRAM) from the Royal Academy of Music (UK), and takes an active role in learning and participation projects with such organisations as the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Stour Early Music Festival, Glyndebourne Opera House, and the English Touring Opera (UK).
