Testimonials

Clients, Colleagues, & Participants of Every Age & Stage

We hired Emily to be the musician-in-residence at a family retreat and she was fantastic. Her energy and enthusiasm come from a wealth of both Judaic and child-centered expertise, and her musical moments were a true highlight of our event. Emily is great to work with, and inspiring to sing with. 10/10 would hire again!

Andrew TerkelRabbi, Educator, Dad

The words and melodies are sing-able, dance-able, and pray-able. Miss Emily has touched the soul of Jewish musical expression for young children and brought sunshine to our lives
