Schubert Club KidsJam Workshops for Families

About Virtual KidsJam Workshops

KidsJam workshops this season are virtual 25-minute interactive sessions for children ages 5-12 to experience musical performances, get involved through creative activities and movement, and learn about the people, cultures, and sounds behind the music.

CREATE! 

Each program will feature a 10 minute CREATE instructional video for you to create an instrument to use during the workshop (not required for participation in the interactive program). Online CREATE videos will be posted one week before the workshop premiere. If you’re interested in purchasing a create kit please contact Kate Cooper at kcooper@schubert.org.

Your support helps to make these virtual programs possible. Thank you!
