"The eloquent playing of 2-Time New England Scottish Fiddle Champion Emerald Rae fills the heart as well as the ear" -The Boston Globe.
Now a National Scottish Fiddle Champion (2004), Emerald Rae also studies Film Scoring at Boston''s Berklee College of Music and is in high demand in Massachusetts as a teacher and performer. She is well known as a patient and generous instructor of both fiddle and stepdance and currently holds teaching posts at Wellesley College and the famous Club Passim School of Music in Cambridge.
Emerald grew up in a very musical household. Her parents were both professional musicians, so her knowledge of the life of a musician was firmly instilled at a young age; and she was encourage to sing, dance and play music. After picking up the fiddle at the age of seven, Emerald''s insatiable interest in the music of Scotland and Cape Breton landed her in many popular fiddle camps. She was a regular at the Ceilidh Trail School of Celtic Music in Inverness, Cape Breton; Gaelic Roots at Boston College and Alasdair Fraser''s Valley of the Moon Scottish Fiddling School.
She studied privately with Barbara McOwen of the popular Scottish Country Dance band Tullochgorum (then the leader of the NH Strathspey and Reel Society) for eight years before beginning her stint at Berklee, where she has studied jazz, classical, blues, klezmer, and of course - film composition.
Emerald is also a talented Cape Breton Stepdancer and has danced for such fiddling giants as Alasdair Fraser and Natalie MacMaster. Last summer, she shared her knowledge and steps with the eager dance students at the famous Pinewoods Dance Camp in Plymouth, Ma.
On her debut solo album "Contemplaytion", Emerald brings some of the east coast''s finest Celtic accompanyists to play with her. The album included her fiddling, singing, dancing, and 12 original tunes.
