Music is present in all cultures worldwide with its powerful, transformative, and unifying effect on people. This is because listening to, and playing music, produces changes in the brain.

Music ignites all areas of child development and skills for school readiness, including intellectual, social-emotional, motor, memory, language, and problem-solving skills.

Having fun with music and singing helps children improve their coordination skills and develop a sense of timing. They can benefit numerous physical and mental health benefits, including stress reduction, and improved mood.

Last but not least... singing, music, and movement are perfect for a creativity explosion!

Thanks to Jazzy Bees* we will understand the importance of singing and making music for children's and kids' development.

With Jazzy Bees we are learning the language of music, the individual notes, and how to combine them and memorize their sound.

We primarily use our Voices to learn the Music Language. The voice is our most valuable and personal instrument. We will explore different musical genres and styles, giving specific importance to learning the Jazz Language.

As a jazz singer, improvisation will be one of the higher goals to achieve during my classes.

And for improvisation, I do not mean exclusively what we do as jazz performers. Still, I mean to give students the elements of thinking music as an improviser, in other words, to be “composers on-the-moment”.

We will be using also other instruments(bells, xylophones, boomwachers, mallets, rhythm sticks, etc..) and other materials (chiffon scarves, balloons, parachutes..) depending on the aims to achieve.
