Join the Fun!
We are happy to present our online program for family fun, directly from your home! 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.
