Kids, let’s join in! The earlier children listen to music, the more it will enhance their lives.
Presenter Karen Kyriakou is joined by musicians of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra for this popular series of workshops specially designed for children up to five years of age and their carers.
All of our Jams for Juniors workshops feature a relaxed attitude to noise and movement. 1pm workshops will take place with additional elements adapted to reduce anxiety and discomfort in stimulating environments. We welcome children older than 5 to these sessions who would benefit from these adaptations, and encourage parents and guardians to bring headphones or other accommodations that best suit their young one. 1pm workshops are also Auslan interpreted.
Please note: all attendees big and small require a ticket.
