Student Open Mic
Welcome to the Open Mic, with an educational twist! Our Student Open Mic is designed to encourage student performances, while also providing feedback & guidance from our teachers. Each open mic is hosted by one of our private music teachers, who will be there to support & teach our student participants!

| Instructor Bio: | Emily McDermott has been studying piano since 1995, and voice since 2004. Along with performing, Emily is also an accomplished songwriter, and teacher of composition and songwriting. She earned her Bachelors of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre from Oakland University in Rochester Hills, MI. Her love for music and performance has taken her on an incredible journey. Starting in Metro Detroit where she grew up and got her education, taking her to N.Y.C and Off Broadway, on to Westchester NY where she created and ran her own music department at a K-8 grammar school and taught piano/voice/acting at the Bennett Academy of Performing Arts, and finally landing her in Middletown CT with her husband and three children where she teaches privately, sings professionally and writes her own music. Recently Emily has begun the process of writing and recording an album with her band which they hope to release soon. While she was in college Emily studied many different performance genres. She is well versed in anything from classical to contemporary (Opera, Classical, Jazz, Blues, Rock n Roll?etc.) In her lessons she offers focus on sight-reading, improvisation, performance, theory and composition/songwriting. Her goal as a teacher is to introduce and familiarize every student with the foundations in each musical subset and to set them up for success in pursuing the music they connect with. Music is such a powerful influence on our lives, Emily makes it a priority to guide her students and help them forge their own path to create a long lasting relationship with their music and instruments while at the same time providing them with a strong foundation and musical background. |
