"I’ve always loved jazz and now I can share the music with my child at a live performance! " - Don Hume, Parent |

“I like to start my program with a simple meditation exercize. Several children are selected from the audience to lay motionless on a mat near the piano The children are instructed to remain in relaxed state for a complete musical piece. To know what to listen for in jazz, you have got to be able to focus your attention on one thing and one thing only...the beauty of the music.” |

“After my first few shows, it was brought to my attention that parents were just as excited about the music as were their children. Today’s hard working parents just don’t have the time to go out to a club to see live music. And when they have a little free time they want to go places where they can take their children.”
