“Josh and his crew of highly committed teachers provide an incredibly nurturing environment in which kids can develop a love for music on their own terms. Twice yearly recitals teach kids that it’s ok to make mistakes, and that it’s the attempt that matters most. We could not be happier or more pleased with the dedicated and thoughtful guidance our two children have received on their chosen instruments (piano and violin).”

— Peter S.

“Thank you for giving our girls a platform to express themselves! Watching Super Jam was such a joy. Having the confidence to perform in front of an audience builds life skills that reach well beyond the traditional classroom. Thank you again for this opportunity!”

“Jammin With You is the best! My daughter started out in the toddler classes and birthday parties, then did Stage Jam, and now she is taking private drum lessons and is in a band with Jammin With You. The teachers are AMAZING, and it’s been so fun to watch my daughter grow musically over the last decade.”

— Karen G.
