Bio

Emma Lundquist is a Waukesha-based freelance performer and teacher with a deep love for flute and a passion for piccolo. She is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where she received her Master’s of Music in Flute Performance and Chamber Music. While at UWM, Mrs. Lundquist served as an active member in the Wind Ensemble and Symphony Orchestra where she played all positions. She was also a member of the debut New Music Ensemble, which had its first performance in December 2022 as part of Present Music’s “Unsilent Night.” Mrs. Lundquist was also the flute studio’s teaching assistant from 2021-2023 where her duties included teaching flute lessons for minors and non-majors, assisting with flute ensemble and studio classes, and teaching the flute section of Woodwind Pedagogy for students majoring in Music Education. She was also tasked with leading flute sectionals for the University’s Youth Wind Ensemble and annual Middle School Honors Band Festival groups. As a performer, Mrs. Lundquist is comfortable performing with large ensembles to small chamber groups, opera pits and solo performances. She can easily perform standard works while embracing newly published works. She was a part of the 2022 Wisconsin premiere of Stacy Garrop’s Alpenglow for solo alto saxophone and tuba, as well as the 2019 world premiere of Kameron Ince’s Grand American Celebration with the UWM Wind Ensemble. In addition, she has gotten to play under the baton of notable conductors such as Ken David Masur and David Bloom. Her other accolades include having received a handful of honorable mentions for various concerto competitions and has performed in several masterclasses across her career. She was selected as a performer in the Karl Fritz Graber masterclass at the 2022 National Flute Association Convention held in Chicago. Other masterclasses she has participated in include Jennifer Gunn, Linda Chatterton, Mary Matthew Nortons, and Cobus du Toit. As well, she attended the Aria International Music Academy in 2018 held in South Hadley, Massachusetts. During this program she received weekly lessons and masterclasses with Judith Mendenhall, Christina Jennings, and John Thorne. Mrs. Lundquist also holds her Bachelor’s of Music in Flute Performance from the University of Evansville. Her teachers are Dr. Jennifer Clippert, Dr. Leanne Hampton, and Cara Dailey. As a teacher, Mrs. Lundquist has been a studio flute teacher for the White House of Music-Waukesha since fall of 2019. She is comfortable teaching beginning students just starting their musical journeys, along with advanced middle/high school students and adult students who want to find their love for flute again. Some of the successes of her students have included making Wisconsin’s State Honors Band, State level Solo & Ensemble, and various groups within the Milwaukee Symphony’s Youth Orchestra. Her personal teaching philosophy revolves around music being fun and not being afraid to try. Outside of teaching, she enjoys time with her husband, who teaches Trumpet for White House of Music, and two black cats. She is a lover of baking, video games and books in the Romantasy genres-especially if they have dragons and/or Fae!

Methods Taught:

My preferred method book is the Flute 101 series by Phyllis Avidan Louke & Patricia George as well as the use of standard repertoire pieces for flute at all levels. I also am comfortable with all levels of Solo & Ensemble pieces, and am happy to help with school music. As well as the occasional Disney or Harry Potter book-because they're fun and challenging!
