The program teaches children the art of jazz through voice and movement. They will learn traditional jazz using fun techniques and will finish the program with a broader understanding of the sounds of blues, rhythm changes and famous bebop standards. Children grades 1-8 respond very well to the program.
Also included is a Jazz for Kids CD for every child (while supplies last). Every program is guaranteed to end with a spectacular jazz performance given by the students under Lisa's leadership.
