Emma's Reviews

5 out of 5

Emma’s performance at my husband’s Memorial Service was quite exceptional. She played ‘Gabriel’s Oboe’ perfectly in a church packed with 200 people and I have been inundated with compliments. Emma was a delight to deal with: responsive, polite and sympathetic to my situation. I cannot recommend her more highly. Vicky Wade
