Emily Mitchell's Profile

Background:

A classically trained cellist and composer with a Masters in Music from the Royal Academy of Music in cello, and an ARSM post-grade 8 diploma in piano, I have been performing professionally and teaching in a variety of settings for over 15 years. My pupils have ranged from the ages of 5 to 65 as private pupils, and in primary, secondary and private schools, at music centres and junior conservatoire. I take pupils from beginner to advanced through the ABRSM exam syllabus with a range of activities to focus on rhythm, pitch, aural and musicianship alongside the technical and musical skills of either instrument. I pride myself on being able to adapt to each pupil's learning style and support areas needing more help, and to bring a wide knowledge and set of skills to encourage each pupil to find their musical voice. My own performing experience varies from playing at the Royal Opera House with the orchestra of Sir Elton John, to solo music for weddings and events across London and the south, cello quartet performances at prestigious venues such as the House of Commons, the V&A and Westminster Abbey, to studio and remote recordings for artists, and my own published production music used by the BBC and Sky.
