About Emily

My musical journey began as a kid in the Pacific Northwest playing classical piano, Americana guitar, and singing lots of jazz. I started piano lessons at the age of four and had a childhood full of evaluations and competitions, sitting in on vocal gigs, spending afternoons in the choir classroom, and pretty much any other music I could get my ears on.

I received a BA in music composition from UC Santa Barbara in 2011. Since then, I’ve experienced a lot of interesting corners of the music world including film scoring, songwriting, and performing. I’ve run my studio, Emily Moscoe Music, for the past 16 years where I get to teach students of all ages (literally babies through retired seniors). This invaluable experience to work with so many types of learners fueled my passion for evidence-based music pedagogy, ultimately leading me back to school in early 2025. I’m now completing my master’s in music education from University at Buffalo SUNY where I’ve been conducting interdisciplinary research, exploring the intersections of music, cognition, and neurodiversity.
