We’re bringing Jazz to a new generation of New Yorkers, ages 2-7 years old!
Join the Fun!
We are happy to present our online program for families with kids 2-7 years old. Each event is a stand-alone class led by early childhood educator Jody Redhage Ferber. The children get to know Jazz through storytelling, movement, listening, instruments and interactive music games.
Each class features a Guest Artist and a unique Jazz Theme to explore!
Classes are about 30 minutes long and are structured as a child-adult experience.

Classes will be held online, on Sundays via Zoom.
Information on how to join the classes will be provided in an email before the event, with a Zoom link and a password.
