Music has a profound impact on children’s development. Learning about Jazz helps children’s creativity even before they learn to play an instrument. We’re excited to present this award-winning program for young children and families in the heart of the North Nashville community!
Jazz AM is made possible with the help of generous sponsors and funding from the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee and the Bonnaroo Works Fund. Many thanks to our lead sponsor, Zander Insurance, to Brook & Kit Babcock in honor of their uncle Jimmy Van Heusen, and to our media partner, the Nashville Scene!
