Emma has been leading classes of music and movement for young children and their caregivers since 2018.
Emma’s songwriting and interactive kids’ performances is rooted in noticing the natural world, and ourselves. She strives to create a welcoming space for kids to explore creativity and connect with live music! Performing with her ukulele you can expect original music, tunes from the Music for Sprouts classroom, and classic kids songs along with scarf play, sing alongs, what will surely be an epic jam session, and a visit from ABC Caterpillar.
Emma plays regularly at local libraries, and seasonally at outdoor spaces like Adam’s Berry Farm and Shelburne Orchards. While her music is fun for the whole family, it’s geared toward kids 5 and under.
Emma has released four songs for kids Rainbow Parade, Underwater Jubilee, Dragon Kin, and Skiing Song which you can find on streaming platforms under her name Emma Cook.
Emma most recently led classes for kiddos and caregivers at GROW Prenatal & Family Center in Burlington, VT. And she got her start with Chris Dorman in his Music for Sprouts classroom at Bread & Butter Farm in Shelburne, VT.
The Music For Sprouts original music and programming has always been rooted in exploring movement, improvisation, and the seasons in a safe space for kiddos to explore their creativity and connect with one another. This framework has inspired and informed Emma’s work with young kids. Chris Dorman, also known as “Mister Chris”, created the popular Vermont Public TV show Mister Chris & Friends, where you can find Emma performing in the Big Big Band in Season 2.

“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.”
