We’re bringing Jazz to a new generation of New Yorkers, ages 2-7 years old!
NEW: We’re keeping the program going. Join our jazz classes online, via Zoom!
What to Expect
Due to the current regulations of social distancing we will be continuing the Jitterbugs classes as planned, but online via Zoom. We are happy to present our online program for families with kids 2-7 years old. Each event is a stand-alone class which will feature two instructors who lead the children through interactive music games. The children will get to know Jazz through storytelling, movement, listening and playing with instruments.
Classes are about 30 minutes long and are structured as a child-adult experience.
The price is $15 per family.
Classes will be held online.
Information on how to join the classes will be provided in an email before the event, with a video link and a password.

Jody Redhage Ferber
Her energetic approach to teaching emphasizes listening, hands-on music-making, and the strong conviction that with support and encouragement, everyone can be a creative artist.
Apart from her experience as a cellist, composer and vocalist, she leads a multi-disciplinary poetry & songwriting workshop.
Guest Artists
To make these themes come alive, she will invite guest artists to accompany her throughout the Jitterbugs classes.
Different artists will introduce a broad variation of Jazz instruments and genres.
