Emma Staunton
Emma is an experienced classical and musical theatre musician with over 10 years of teaching. She completed her Singing and Piano exams with The Royal Irish Academy of Music and holds both a Bachelor of Music degree and a Master’s in Musicology and Performance from Maynooth University. Emma studied voice at the DIT Conservatory of Music and has performed in venues such as the National Concert Hall and the Bord Gais Energy Theatre, as well as at music festivals in Prague and Belgium.
Emma discovered her passion for teaching later in her studies and transitioned to a full-time teaching role, working in Ireland, America, and the UK. She enjoys working with students of all ages, and her supportive approach focuses on building confidence and helping each individual tap into their musical potential.
Our experience of KSM over the last ten years has been very positive. Four children, four instruments and four very different attitudes to practice, but all have been infected by Paul’s boundless enthusiasm for the pure joy of music
My daughter has been taking piano lessons in the Kilternan School of Music for 3 years. She loves her teacher and lessons. She has achieved extremely high results in her exams and loves playing in the mini concerts throughout the year.
My family will be attending KSM for their 6th year this September. I have 3 children aged between 10 and 13. It was my daughter who brought us to music through violin by attending the pre instrumental class and she just loved it.
