Emerson Wynn
piano and clarinet
“I’ve always wanted to be a teacher and I couldn’t be more lucky that my dream came true. I have the coolest job in the world!”
From the early age of four years old, Cincinnati native Emerson Wynn (he/they) began studying piano and came home with a clarinet just a few years years later.
After high school, he was offered two scholarships to the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM). Although his professors vetoed the idea, Emerson was the first student in the history of CCM to enter as a triple major: music education, clarinet, and piano. After 4 years and lots of coffee, Emerson finished student teaching and was ready for the next adventure: Germany!
In the charming town of Leipzig, Emerson completed his masters in clarinet performance. He studied with renowned Gewandhaus clarinetist Wolfgang Mäder and taught piano, clarinet, and saxophone in various music schools (all in German!).
Along with a registered teaching license, Emerson has experience in all facets of performance and music education. He has taught in the traditional K-12 classroom, lead kindermusik classes with toddlers, and judged piano competitions at the collegiate level. Appearances as a performer include the Gewandhaus Orchester (Leipzig, Germany), guest artist of the Sainte-Croix des Armeniens Series (Paris, France), and many more.
