The Music Class Jazz for Kids

From the Creator: A playful family album introducing young children to jazz through singable songs, joyful performances, and music that children and grownups can enjoy together.

The Music Class Jazz for Kids introduces young children and families to the rhythms, harmonies, instruments, and improvisational spirit of jazz through playful, singable songs. Performed by outstanding musicians and vocalists, the album blends boogie-woogie, swing, jazz waltz, bebop, ragtime, and New Orleans-style jazz into music that children can move to, sing along to, and play along with. We promise grownups will enjoy it too! 

This is a compilation of jazz favorites from The Music Class early childhood music and movement classes, including three new big band versions of Jungle Cat, Polly Put the Kettle On, and Tiger Shake. Designed for home listening, car rides, preschool classrooms, and early childhood music settings, it gives young listeners a joyful first experience with the language of jazz.
