See all- How to Jam- For Kids (6-12)School of Musical Traditions, Takoma Park, MD
Every Second Sunday of the Month from 1-2 pm EST
In this class Mari Carlson helps kids learn to play music together. Kids have the opportunity to play the tunes they are learning in your private lessons with others - and learn new songs from others. Importantly kids learn how to collaborate, communicate, create and play well with others in a jam session. Mari facilitates a fun and supportive environment that encourages flexibility, experimentation, and listening.
Parents and older siblings with accompanying instruments are welcome to sit in and support the jam.
$30/session. Come every month or just once. Who knows - maybe you’ll meet future bandmates…
