Jazz Workshop for 4-12 Year Olds

A very special interactive jazz workshop led by education experts from The Music Workshop Company especially for children aged 4-12.

Young people will discover the infectious and adaptable nature of jazz exploring rhythm and groove, designed especially our festival, and led by 2 expert tutors: percussionist Donald Gamble and saxophonist Phillip Brunton.

No experience is required – whether your young ones already play an instrument or want to explore music for the first time – so come along and discover your inner jazz musician! Percussion instruments are supplied.

The workshop is fully interactive leading to a performance at the end of the session. The workshop will adapt to the participants giving the chance to solo for those feeling confident and the opportunity not to take centre stage for those who prefer to be part of the group.

Please let us know if participants have learning or language needs so we can prepare suitable activities and support them to get the most out of the workshop by emailing jazz@watfordjazzjunction.com.

The workshop will run from 2pm-3.30pm including a short break and a final performance. Please arrive from 1.45pm for a prompt 2pm start.

Participation is £15 per child. Parents are welcome to stay in the Colne River Room where the workshop will run or just outside in the foyer where coffee/tea will be available.
