WeBop is an early-childhood jazz education program in which children (ages 8 months - 5 years) and their parents/caregivers learn about jazz's improvisation, creative process, instruments, styles and great performers. The classes provide a creative outlet for parents and children to explore jazz as a tool to educate and express themselves together.
