Original songs for Jewish early childhood, family engagement, and joyful learning
I write original Jewish music for children and the grown-ups who love them. These songs are used in early childhood classrooms, Tot Shabbat and family programs, religious school, and community gatherings. Each release is made to be sung and moved with, with simple, teachable melodies and real educational purpose underneath the fun.
If you are looking for Jewish music for preschool, early childhood Jewish songs, or music for family programs, you are in the right place. My music is designed for the way real groups work: short attention spans, big feelings, lots of transitions, and the need for routines that help children and grown-ups feel safe, connected, and included.
This collection of 12 songs that help kiddos explore Israel through movement, Hebrew vocabulary, and joy. I wrote them for the youngest Jewish learners, from babies on a caregiver’s lap to preschoolers in a circle, and for every educator, cantor, songleader, grandparent, and parent singing with them. Israel turns 78 this year. In honor of her birthday, I am offering the Am Yisrael Chai Songleader Guide as a gift to anyone who leads the next generation in song.
This two song EP is designed to enhance movement and meaning as you share the story of our Exodus with kiddos.
Purim Parade is a Jewish early childhood song designed for Purim costume parades in preschools, religious schools, and family programs. It provides steady musical structure so large groups of children can move together with clarity, energy, and shared purpose. When many children are walking, singing, and wearing costumes at once, excitement escalates quickly. This song offers predictable rhythm, clear cues, and built-in participation so the experience feels more connected an less chaotic.

A curated collection of original Jewish songs for young children, families, and educators, designed for learning through music, movement, and play. These songs turn core Jewish ideas like gratitude, kindness, and connection into experiences children can sing and feel together. Re-released as Dr. Emily, this collection honors where the work began while supporting Jewish learning today.
My music is available on Spotify, Apple Music, and wherever you listen.
From Miss Emily to Dr. Emily
Many of these songs were written earlier in my career and shared under the name Miss Emily. As my work has grown, the music has stayed, but the way I support it has expanded, with more intentional framing around child development, educational design, and Jewish learning.
From college student songleader to doctoral researcher, my journey from Miss Emily to Dr. Emily mirrors my evolution as an educator, mother, and artist.
I also bring this music to communities through live experiences, including early childhood family programs, Tot Shabbat and family Shabbat experiences, educator professional development, residencies, and facilitated songleading sessions designed for your setting and goals.
