Emily began playing violin at age 7, then banjo at the age of 10, with dobro and other acoustic instruments to follow. Emily and Martie toured the country together in a teen's bluegrass group for six years before helping to found Dixie Chicks. Emily learned to play the banjo by teaching herself the chord progessions by reading the books.
