Meet the teachers at The Music Garden!
Emily Tallant, BME, MM
Emily Tallant has played flute and piccolo in the First Baptist Church Orchestra since 2007. She holds a M.M. degree in Music Education from the Moores School of Music at University of Houston, and a B.M.E. degree in Music Education (flute and voice) from The University of Tulsa. Ms. Tallant's involvement in the St. Louis Children's Choirs growing up inspired her to teach Middle School choir in Cypress Fairbanks ISD, where she taught for two years before pursuing her masters. She also taught private flute lessons in Cypress Fairbanks ISD, Alief ISD, & most recently at the School of Fine Arts at Houston's First Baptist Church. Ms. Tallant has been on the faculty of Floot Fire Houston since 2007 and has performed at Wildacres Flute Retreat, ARIA International Summer Chamber Music Academy, and Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp. She sings with Cantaré Houston, a professional choral ensemble. In addition to musical activities, Emily has enjoyed the freedom of owning her own business and was a Free-Car-Driver (twice!) with Mary Kay Cosmetics. Also Ms. Tallant is involved in the Houston Alumnae Chapter of the Sigma Alpha Iota Music Fraternity.
Ms. Tallant now has two small boys who are in classes at The Music Garden.
Ms. Tallant began teaching at The Music Garden the Spring 2017 semester under the mentorship of Leilani Miranda, owner/director. Ms. Tallant believes that involvement in music from a young age expands to growth in many other areas of children's lives and development
