Siree is the owner and lead teacher at Ladybug Music Beverly Hills.  She has been teaching early childhood music in Beverly Hills and the surrounding area for the last 20 years.  

Her love of music and her ability to connect with children make teaching kids' music classes a natural choice for Siree. "I knew it would be a great job for me - but I never expected to love it as much as I do. All of the families who attend my classes are so wonderful - the parents, the grandparents, the nannies and especially all of their beautiful and musical children! Helping them grow and learn is my privilege and my pleasure!"

Emily has been singing her whole life, but became more serious during college when she formed a cover band. After honing in on her songwriting skills she formed a band that played all of the LA area, and even got to open for Bob Dylan!

As the grind of a musician took its toll, Emily decided to focus on family, and after the birth of her first child 16 years ago she discovered early childhood music! Emily loved those early music classes with her children and once her kids were older decided to become a music teacher herself.  “I have always loved the idea that every child that is brought into this world has an innate musical ability, and to see what happens when that ability is nurtured at a very young age is magical”.
