MASTERCLASSES
Through EKM Studio, Emily occasionally offers online masterclasses! You can join the classes either as a singer, or as an observer. Singers will get 13 minutes of one-on-one coaching, while observers will watch and get to ask questions. To sign up as a singer, you must be an intermediate or advanced vocalist. All levels are welcome to observe. As an observer you can opt to watch class live on Zoom or you can choose NOT to attend live, and instead watch the recording (which will be sent out the next day) on your own time.
Emily offers four different kinds of masterclasses. They are 2 hours long per class. Class costs $55 to observe, $110 to sing.
