“For me, teaching is such a privilege, as it is an opportunity to introduce students of all ages to
the beauty of music and the fascinating process of learning.”
Hello! My name is Emma Dunbar, and I teach violin, viola, fiddle, piano and theory. With a
decade of teaching experience, I have taught all ages, beginners through to RCM level 10.
Consequently, I am very comfortable preparing students for recitals, festivals, auditions, exams
or just helping them have fun. To keep lessons fun and rewarding, my teaching style is flexible,
taking into account the interests and personality of each student. For more advanced students, I
am passionate about helping them refine technical skills and develop excellent musicianship
while still enjoying the creative process.
I believe in making learning an instrument as simple and fun as possible. This way a student
can develop a strong technical foundation that allows them to confidently play songs they enjoy.
To foster a love of music, I introduce students to a variety of different music such as: classical,
pop, anime, jazz, hymns, worship music, chording, and fiddle.
My certifications include an ARCT in Piano Performance and Theory, Suzuki Pedagogy
Training, Bachelors of Violin Performance, and a Masters of Viola Performance.
