Emy Menna
Guitar/Bass/Keys Instructor
Emy is a bass and guitar player coming right from the city of Chicago. As a youth she spent her time diving into music and began playing guitar at the age of 10. Soon after picking up the bass at age 12, she fell in love with the passionate displays of aggression and emotion found in both heavy metal and soul music. Emy was a member of the school of rock for 5 years, playing in the house band for two of those years. She has now gone on to play bass with many different bands ranging from hip hop to reggaeton to hardcore punk.
