Emma Gingold is a collaborative pianist with a decade of experience accompanying and teaching throughout Chicagoland. During her career, Emma has served as a staff accompanist at Triton College, Fenton High School, Lyons Township High School, and Spirito! Singers. She also plays for church choirs and festival soloists, and provides music direction for area theatres like Lyons Township High School, Morton West High School, and Summer Place Theatre. Emma has a Master of Music in Collaborative Piano from North Park University and a B.A. in English Literature from Knox College.

Emma enjoys sharing her love of piano with students of all ages and abilities. She started piano lessons as a painfully shy, unenthusiastic seven-year-old, which is why she always approaches lessons with empathy and an open mind. Emma’s students learn classical techniques that they can apply to their favorite types of music, from Beethoven to musical theatre to rock, pop, and jazz.

Emma lives in Elmwood Park with her husband and her dog.
