Hello! I'm Emily. I've been with Norton for four years now and love working with instructors to find out what makes their music courses unique and how Norton's resources energize students.
I play the flute and the piano and there's almost always a record spinning in our living room. My husband and I like to dance with our two-year-old and introduce him to new sounds.
The fifth edition of Musician's Guide to Theory and Analysis has an incredible suite of resources and expanded coverage of pop, traditional, and global music. I can't wait to talk more about your theory course and how Norton's resources can help your students.
