Emma Zen (founder & director)

 
 
Hi! My name is Emma. I bring the Rocking Horse Music program to the children, parents and carers in community music playgroups and child care centres each week.

My background is in both music and education with qualifications and experience as a primary & early childhood music specialist, piano tutor, conductor, guest speaker and workshop presenter.

I believe our program is unique in that it is based on the philosophy & methodology of three prominent music educators: Kodaly, Orff and Dalcroze.

Attending regular professional development in the form of workshops, conferences, training and  further study, keeps the content and delivery of our early childhood music education program informed, fresh and innovative.

It is a privilege to facilitate in making music accessible to babies, toddlers, preschoolers, carers and parents in the hope that it is making a profound contribution to their overall development.

I hope you find the journey into active music-making to be rewarding!
