Emily Peterman is a local teacher and oboist in Waterloo Region, who will be joining Bandology in 2026 to serve as Music Director for Band Camp Guelph.
Peterman has been teaching classroom music, both in Canada and abroad, for half a decade. Inspired by her own experiences with music, she completed her Bachelor of Music at Wilfrid Laurier University, followed by her Bachelor of Education at Queen’s University.
Peterman began her teaching career at the Wembley High Technology College in London, England where she was recognized for strengthening the music program through curriculum redesign and ensemble creation. She now teaches in the Upper Grand and Waterloo Region school boards, where she is thrilled to have taught band, voice and composition, as well as directing several ensembles.
In constant pursuit of that joy that comes from helping others gain a deeper understanding of music, Peterman has taught music in a variety of ways. She has worked as a tutor within the Laurier Faculty of Music, in the faculty at the National Music Camp of Canada and taught privately at the Kitchener Academy of Music.
