Charged Particles is a great jazz ensemble, and each member a knowledgeable, highly talented craftsman. They bring the main principles of jazz to a level that children of all ages can understand and interact with the repertoire. Hearing clear, thoughtful explanations between pieces, the children will see the way in which jazz is full of layers of sound and complexity, yet is improvisatory in nature. After the workshop is complete, interested children are invited to come up and have theirs photos taken while they're testing out the drums. Smiles abound as children watch each other trying out this new experience.
