Emily Wolfe | Co-Director

Emily has been making music her entire life and began performing at a young age, sharing her love of music through piano and vocal performances at weddings, recitals, worship services, and community events. As an adult, her passion for music led her to the stage, where her theater experience deepened her love of storytelling, performance, and connecting with audiences.

A mom of two, with more than twelve years of experience as a private nanny, Emily has spent many years helping children learn, grow, and explore the world around them. She loves creating a warm, welcoming environment where families can sing, play, and make Music Together®.

Now serving as Co-Director of Fiddlesticks Music, Emily has loved spending the past year sharing the joy of music-making with local families. She is passionate about helping children and their grownups build confidence, create lasting memories, and experience the magic of making music together.
