Early Bird Jazz for Kids: Jim Nadel and the Zookeepers

The gift of jazz appreciation can enrich a child’s development in many ways, including strengthening perception and teaching social skills. But you can’t take your kids to a nightclub! SJW founder Jim Nadel and some of the Bay Area’s finest musicians have the solution — an entertaining, informative introduction to jazz, presented in a kid-friendly environment, at a parent-friendly price!

Nadel has more than four decades of experience at the forefront of jazz education, with first-hand knowledge of the music’s history and some of its most colorful characters. In this engaging and interactive program, Jim and his Zookeepers demonstrate musical styles, concepts, and instruments from the world of jazz.

After the show, your family is welcome to stop by our famed Instrument Petting Zoo, where the kids can reach out and touch the instruments they heard onstage!
