"Emma is a very interactive teacher, and she explains and demonstrates everything in a helpful way. She builds things up step by step and is helping me be a better player. And, she is really easy to talk to!" -Nadia P., student

"Emma has been my daughter's flute teacher for just over 2 years. She is enthusiastic, patient, encouraging and really tailors lessons to bring out the best in her playing. Emma makes lesson time fun through improv, duets and selecting music that resonates with my daughter. This also keeps her engaged in practice between lessons and excited to learn from week to week. It has been a joy to hear her growth in flute and see her develop a broader appreciation of music. On the parent side, Emma is easy to communicate with and flexible. I highly recommend Emma for anyone of any age with an interest in flute lessons!"

"I started studying with Emma Hammond 2 years ago as a 60-year old beginning flute player. I had some experience with folk instruments and music, but no in depth formal music training. I also could never find a way to permanently bring music into my world. But with attentive patience, infectious enthusiasm and outstanding teaching ability, Emma helped me make music an integral part of my daily life. I now enthusiastically play the flute almost everyday. Emma continues to serve as my musical guide, and for that I am extremely grateful." -Paul D., student

"Emma is an excellent teacher!  My daughter had only taken 6 flute lessons with a different teacher before Emma.  We saw an immediate improvement in skills and ability after starting lessons with Emma.  Emma met Alexandra at her level. Emma took the time to learn about Alexandra’s interests and found music that would be interesting to learn but still be at the appropriate level.  This resulted in immense joy from both my daughter and my family!"
