Developed by Jazz at Lincoln Center, WeBop is an early-childhood jazz education program for ages 3 to 5 that invites families to stomp, strut and swing to the joyous rhythms of jazz. Pre-registration is required for this free trial class.
You and your child will learn about the core concepts, instruments and performers of jazz all while having fun together. WeBop classes awaken and enhance skills in listening, creativity and imagination.
Free trial classes for families interested in WeBop instruction for their child will be held March 14 at 10 a.m. at the Harold and Dorothy Steward Center for Jazz in St. Louis.
The Spring session of WeBop: Exploring Jazz Styles will be held Saturdays from March 28 - May 16 at 10 a.m.
Classes are for children ages 3 to 5 with a parent or caregiver. This is not a drop-off program. One adult must participate for each child.
