Emmi Vaara:
Singing

About Emmi

Emmi is a Finnish-born singer, composer, and violist with over eight years of teaching experience. She studied vocal pedagogy in Germany, then moved to London with a grant from the Finnish Cultural Foundation to complete her MA in Contemporary Music Performance.

​

Alongside teaching, she studies Music Therapy at Guildhall, which has deepened her understanding of the voice in therapeutic and relational contexts. If you're a nervous singer or find self-expression challenging—vocally or otherwise—she'd be glad to help create a space where you feel comfortable trying things out at your own pace.

​

Her lessons focus on building healthy, reliable vocal technique alongside practical musicianship. Emmi works with students of all levels, helping them develop tone, range, and control through clear, evidence-based approaches to voice training. Her teaching is rooted in encouragement: she aims to help students feel at home in their own voices, grow in confidence, and connect more deeply with the music they love.

​

In addition to teaching, Emmi writes and releases music under the name Emmi Maaria and has been featured on BBC 6 Music, Boogaloo Radio, and Radio Helsinki. She also composes for film and performs as a violist and singer in various collaborative projects.
