Emmett Paik started his violin studies with Dana Freeman just before the age of 5. He has been praised for having a “good ear”. His favorite parts about playing the violin include the feeling of accomplishment and joy he gets after learning a new song, as well as the social aspect of playing in an ensemble. He never turns down an opportunity to contribute and share his talents whether at his church, Yorba Linda Seventh Day Adventist Church, or at his school, Frontiers Academy.
