We’re bringing Jazz to a new generation of New Yorkers, ages 2-5 years old!
What to Expect
We are happy to present our new program for families with kids 2-5 years old, starting with three events this spring. 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.
NOTE! Classes are about 50 minutes long and are structured as a child-adult experience. Jitterbugs is not a child drop-off program.
The price is $15 per family up to 4.
Max 2 kids per adult.
Scholarships available. Contact jitterbugs@jazzforumarts.org.

Each event will feature the brilliant instructors Juan Ruiz and Jody Redhage Ferber! Juan is a Latin and Jazz clarinetist and Jody is a Jazz and Classical cellist. Both have a background in early childhood education!

Juan Ruiz
As an educator, he sees to foster the dreams in each student: “There is no such thing as teaching. There is only something called learning, and we learn from each other. I am only here to guide you on this labor as well as to learn from all of you.”
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.
Welcome to the Club
All events will be held at the Jazz Forum club location.
