KidsJammin' is a hands-on program where kids 8 to 12 years old get to experience music making in a fun, stimulating, and encouraging environment. The KidsJammin' program will focus on music fundamentals – rhythm, melody, harmony – and then apply these concepts to explore expression, creativity, improvisation, and composing/songwriting. Give your child a fun and positive introduction to music making. Instruments will be provided, but children are welcome to bring their own.
