Hands-on Jazz for Kids
with the Arpeggio Jazz Ensemble

Children will have the opportunity to “touch” Jazz music via a hands-on “jam” session. Children are invited to explore the vibrant world of jazz, singing, drumming, scatting, dancing, and using their imaginations. The goal is to remove barriers between music and audiences (of all ages) and focus on the FUN and healing powers of live music.
