Emilia is the founder of Malinky Music, a community-centered music and movement program for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and their caregivers in San Francisco. After years of teaching music in a variety of settings, she founded Malinky Music in 2025 with the goal of creating a warm, inclusive space where young children can explore music through play, movement, instruments, and connection. With a master’s degree in music performance and over 10 years of experience as a music educator, Emilia is dedicated to creating a nurturing and engaging environment for children and their caregivers. In addition to leading Malinky Music, she maintains a private studio teaching voice and oboe lessons and freelances as a performer throughout the Bay Area. Her classes combine developmentally appropriate music-making with playful movement and interactive experiences designed to support early childhood development while making caregivers feel just as included as their little ones.
