Jam Approach Emma brings years of experience as a musician and a performer to the classroom, paired with a warm, nurturing personality that invites children to engage with music.

As a mom, she also has a deep, firsthand understanding of what’s developmentally appropriate for children as they grow — and she brings that knowledge directly into her teaching, shaping lessons that meet each child right where they are. Combined with her musical background, this makes her especially well-suited for the varied, hands-on nature of JWY’s Enrichment Programming.

Emma hopes her students feel empowered by the joy and magic that music brings, and that they carry that spark with them well beyond the classroom.
