About
A free kids' jazz workshop on Isham Park's lawns — live musicians lead little ones through rhythm games and their first swing beats.
This lawn edition of Isham Park's kids' jazz morning gives families an open-air option — same live musicians, same interactive rhythm-and-song format, with room for wigglier participants to move. Free 45-minute enrichment from real jazz players is the kind of programming parents usually pay conservatory prices for. In Inwood it's just a walk in the park.
What to expect
Expect an informal outdoor circle with instruments out, call-and-response singing and rhythm games, and kids invited into the music constantly. Blankets down, shoes optional, participation guaranteed.
