WeBop at SFJAZZ: Stompers

ABOUT WEBOP AT SFJAZZ
We are thrilled to partner with our sister organization—Jazz at Lincoln Center—in launching the West Coast version of the acclaimed early childhood music education program, WeBop! The perfect preamble to our Family Matinee program and designed for youngsters between the ages 2-5 and their caregivers, WeBop at SFJAZZ is designed to introduce young children to jazz music and performance in a safe, welcoming and interactive setting. Classes are 45 minutes long and provide plenty of opportunities to learn, explore, and play.  

ABOUT THIS CLASS
Imaginative, spontaneous, and exploratory play are key for the Stompers age group, with guided activities that highlight the rhythmic energy and emotional content of jazz music. Stompers will become characters in musical stories, interact with others in call and response singing and movement, and express themselves through shaking, tapping, thumping, and striking instruments. Grownups interact with children as partners throughout the lesson and reinforce activities with specially designed materials.
