Music & Movement with Miss Emma ❁

Music & Movement with Miss Emma ❁

In 2018 Emma began leading classes of music and movement for kiddos under 5 and their caregivers in the Music for Sprouts classroom at Bread & Butter Farm in Shelburne, VT. Founded by musician Chris Dorman — Mister Chris in the classroom and on the popular Vermont PBS TV show Mister Chris & Friends — Music For Sprouts original music and programming is rooted in exploring movement, improvisation, and the seasons in a safe space for kiddos to explore their creativity and connect with one another.

While the classroom has since closed, Emma brings the beloved Music for Sprouts tunes wherever she goes! She currently connects with families at her regular shows at Jericho Town Library and South Burlington Public Library, as well as at local kids centered events across Vermont! She held a regular 6 week event series at Adam’s Berry Farm in Summer 2023, and plays at Shelburne Orchards annually. 

And as of the Fall of 2023 she is back in the classroom (!) teaching music and movement classes at GROW Prenatal & Family Center on Pine St. in Burlington. You can learn more about those classes here. And scroll down to play Emma’s original kids tunes, and see a live vide of Dragon Kin from Highlight Burlington NYE 2022.

Making music with kids is joy. It’s presence. They lead the music with their energy and creativity, and they’ll let you know right away if what you’re offering isn’t working for them — the most honest and earnest audience! Performing for kids and leading classes to connect kids with rhythm and music is one of my favorite places to be.
