ALL ABOUT EMMA DI MARCO MUSIC

EMMA DI MARCO MUSIC is the business arm of Emma’s work throughout the music industry and is now a part of her larger company, Emma & Vincent MBP Pty Ltd. For many years, Emma worked as a sole trader; gigging and teaching as she built a profile as a respected saxophonist and educator. Many of her teaching resources became sought after by other teachers and players in her local community and she was often called upon to give workshops and masterclasses around her local Brisbane and, eventually, all around Australia. Throughout this time, Emma has always focussed on quality pedagogical practices, realistic and easily actionable advice, and inspiring creativity in others. Emma’s exploration of her social media channels has led to a wide range of free offerings for her followers. From quick tips on her Instagram, instructional videos on her YouTube channel, regular episodes of the SAX BITES podcast, or her funny TikToks, Emma has shared so much of her knowledge and expertise with her audience. Now, this online hub offers even more offerings and solutions for all.
