Miss Galina
​
My passion for music and early childhood education led me to creating Tiny Tunes - a safe space for kids to learn through music-based activities! I am so honored and blessed to have such a great community here and I am proud of what we were able to build here. As a stay at home mom with my older son I craved a community of women who were going through the same thing I was and at the same time being able to expose my son to various activities but found it difficult as there was nothing much for young children in our neighborhood at the time! I took a leap of faith and opened Tiny Tunes Studio - best decision I've made and I am so happy I got to meet so many wonderful families and form friendships that will last a life time!

Hi! Elli here! I'm a musician, teacher, composer, artist, dancer, chef, and life enthusiast!

I love performing, be it for wee ones, weddings, or at big venues with my groovy band!
