Emilee has come full circle since her early years as a Suzuki student and is now a certified Suzuki piano teacher. She is thankful for the opportunity to invest in the lives of her students who range in age from 5 years old to adult. She is also a co-founder and instructor of Early Music Training classes which introduce children to the rudiments of music through a combination of the Kodaly, Orff, and Dalcroze methods.
The harp is Emilee’s primary instrument and she regularly performs in collaboration with other musicians as well as for weddings, retirement homes, school events, music clubs, and other local functions. She has served as harpist for the Summerville Orchestra since 2016 and enjoys the opportunity to make and share music in the community with this dynamic group. In addition to harp, Emilee is also a collaborative pianist and has served as accompanist for solo recitals, studio recitals, scholarship auditions, choirs, and for the 2018 ACDA honor choir.
Emilee is thankful to be supported by a musical family and enjoys many music events alongside her best friends. When not participating in musical activities, Emilee enjoys cooking, babysitting, exploring Charleston’s historic sites, and kayaking.
