Whether you’re starting your musical journey for the very first time or picking up where you once left off, you belong here. At Wildflower Music Lessons, growth is at the heart of everything we do. Like wildflowers, every student is unique and beautiful in their own way, blooming at their own pace as they learn and develop.
Together, we’ll build creativity and skills in a supportive, encouraging environment—because no matter where you begin, we can grow through music together. 🌼
BuBuild confidence, strengthen technique, and discover your unique voice. Vocal coaching focuses on healthy singing, breath support, performance skills, and exploring the styles you love—plus guidance in songwriting so you can start turning your ideas and experiences into original music, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced writer.
Lessons use the Faber Piano Adventures curriculum alongside favorite songs to build strong fundamentals, technique, musical expression, and performance skills. Students learn to read music, play with ease, and grow comfortable sharing their music with others.
Inspired by the “nurtured by love” philosophy, students will learn through the Suzuki Flute School approach, developing strong listening skills, tone, and technique in a supportive environment. Lessons are designed to help students grow naturally and at their own pace, while keeping flute playing fun, encouraging, and full of curiosity.
It is Emma’s joy to be a music educator. In her studio, Emma McDermott strives to create a safe, supportive, and engaging musical atmosphere where students feel inspired to grow. She grew up in a household of professional musicians and began playing instruments as soon as she could hold them. Early exposure to a wide range of genres—including classical, jazz, folk, contemporary/pop, and Celtic fusion—shaped the diverse musical styles she now shares with her students.
Throughout her journey as a musician, Emma studied at Columbia College Chicago and Belmont University before completing her studies with a BA in Songwriting from Berklee College of Music. In addition to teaching, she is an active recording and performing artist who has released a full-length album and multiple EPs, and has performed on stages across the country.
