Biography
Dr. Stephanie A. Emberley, pianist, began her classical piano training at the age of three, giving her first solo recital at the age of fifteen. She received her DMA degree in piano performance, pedagogy and literature from James Madison University (JMU) and has taught at both JMU and Gordon College. Her performances have taken her throughout the United States, Canada, and France. Pianists with whom Ms. Emberley has studied include Lori Piitz, Barbara Lister-sink, and Sara Whitehouse.
In both 2008 and 2009, Ms. Emberley won the New Hampshire MTNA Young Artists’ competition and was selected as a finalist in the Philharmonic Society of Arlington’s Young Artists’ Concerto Competition. Ms. Emberley has received awards for her performances from organizations such as the Anna Sosenko Trust Grant, the Waldo and Alice Ayer Music Performance scholarship, and the Eubie Blake Performance scholarship. Hearing about these performances, the Harvard Faculty Club invited Stephanie to perform an all-Chopin recital as the highlight of their Christmas Banquet. In addition to this, Ms. Emberley particularly enjoys organizing and performing concerts that involve audience interaction and raising funds for local charities, such as the Peterborough Children in the Arts, Rivermeade, Willow Rise, and the Easter Seals.
Some of Ms. Emberley’s interests include skiing/snowboarding, running, natural movement, and piano technique. Ms. Emberley is a certified Instructor of the Lister-sink Method of piano technique and injury retraining. She blogs about her experiences and practicing in order to provide her students additional advice outside of their lessons.
