Emma’s experience is based in Musical Theatre with a background in acting and movement.  Her lessons focus on efficient body and breath coordination, storytelling and emotional connection to the song in performance.  Pedagogically, Emma encourages the use of growth mindset, goal setting and positivity to encourage her students to take ownership of their singing journey.

Alongside her teaching and directing work Emma aims to continue her research to keep up to date with current developments in voice research and pedagogy, to inform her teaching practice.
