Emily Woock

Emily is a daughter of two music educators so has never known life without music. She was first introduced to Dr. Feierabend’s work when she attended a conference as an undergraduate, and hearing about the “30-year-plan” forever changed how she approaches music education. Emily has spent her career teaching music to children of all ages from infants to high school, and is passionate about introducing other teachers to Dr. Feierabend’s philosophy and curriculum.  

She currently serves at Concordia University Chicago, where she teaches courses in both music education and church music. She also serves as chapel organist and teaches applied organ. In addition to her work at the university, she works part-time as music director and organist at her church in Elmhurst, Illinois. She currently serves on the FAME board as treasurer. 

 

Emily frequently serves as a presenter, facilitator, consultant, and mentor for music educators. She holds a BA from Concordia University Chicago, a Master of Sacred Music from the University of Notre Dame, and a Master of Music Education from Anderson University. She completed her Kodály certification at the Hartt School of Music, where she studied with John Feierabend. She is currently pursuing her PhD in music education from Indiana University in Bloomington, IN.
