Emree’s 20-year music journey began when he took drum lessons in his teens at his local music school in Ottawa. After two years he decided to follow his passion and continue his studies at Carleton University, earning his music degree in 2007. During his time at Carleton, he began sharing his love of music and drumming with others by teaching adults and children of all ages at music schools and offering private lessons.
Emree offers an interactive curriculum which is individually tailored to keep students engaged. He encourages students to share their musical interests, influences, and set goals for them to have an active role in their music education. Fun, creativity, and musicality are the focus during lessons, where learned material is put into context by playing along to music.
Emree has performance experience and is well versed in Rock, Pop, Soul/R&B, Latin, and Jazz.
“Let’s make some noise!”
“Before I began my lessons, I had no prior drumming experience. I was a bit intimidated of attempting a brand new instrument but Emree’s classes have been incredibly gratifying and the overall progress has been amazing!
His classes have a great overall mix: an essential focus on rhythms, to then applying these drills and techniques to a range of my favourite songs! This has kept each lesson refreshing & engaging and I can’t wait to continue developing my drumming skills with Emree’s guidance.”

“Emree is easily one of the most talented teachers I have ever encountered in any profession. In the field of music like many facets of life there are always knowledgeable professionals but there is a big difference between understanding, a subject and being able to teach it. This is Emree’s gift. Not only is he obviously talented, but he is so great at working with kids exactly where they’re at to learn it. My son struggles with some medical issues that make learning difficult for him. Emree’s ability to connect with his student and inspire them at the same time has resulted in concrete, skill and knowledge far beyond what we could’ve anticipated. My child has blossomed into a talented musician. The fact that my son is a good drummer has everything to do with how Emree teaches. I cannot give him a higher recommendation. If you get the chance to work with him, consider yourself lucky!”

"Emree Wilson was my teacher from the age of thirteen to seventeen. Emree taught me so much. He instilled a strong sense of rhythm, reading, and dedication to the craft. But more than anything else, Emree taught me the love of music, and more importantly, to love myself and my own playing...
...He showed me countless other drummers, countless styles of music, and broadened my musical horizons immensely. He gave me countless ideas for improvising, started me down the path of jazz, funk, R+B, and Latin music, and instilled a strong sense of reading and technical prowess as well. When I left, I left with so much more knowledge of music, and a much greater understanding and love for it as well...
...Even when I wasn’t the best at practicing all the time, Emree never passed judgement on anything. It was done with such tenderness and caring, making me feel like the most important person in that room every week…"
