JAM PACK:
FOR STUDENTS IN KINDERGARTEN-GRADE 6
1-2 classes a week
In Jam Pack, we explore all the elements that make music happen. There is play, movement, stories, songs, rhythm and harmony games, active listening, poetry, singing, and a whole range of instruments...all in ONE program! They don’t call it Jam Pack for nothing!
Jam Pack aims to provide a solid foundation for lifelong musical enjoyment and learning. The fundamental skills and understanding required to be a successful musician are embedded in the framework of every activity and song, but the main goal is one that keeps Jam Pack students coming back for more, year after year...PLAY! This is the key that keeps music fun for all ages, from the preschoolers to the pros. From singing songs, to playing rhythm games, to practicing xylophones as an ensemble, to trying improvising and composition, all the way to performing on the mainstage at the Yukon Arts Centre, Jam Pack students play a lot! And at the end of each year, they are one step closer to being ready for Inter Jam!
This program includes several opportunities for performances throughout the year. Conveniently scheduled Monday to Friday between 4 and 6pm, Jam Pack can be accessed through our Full Time After School Arts Program!
Jam Pack Instructor is Edwin Edpalina

The Heart is committed to excellent Arts Programming and we ask for the same commitment from our students. In order for the students, along with the rest of their class, to benefit from the programming, regular attendance to classes is required.

It’s time to get into the xylophones! Jam Pack 2 kids are xylo whizzes. This class moves into learning more songs, trying more challenging rhythms, and splitting the class into groups so that we have two or even three parts playing at the same time! For those coming from Jam Pack 1, you’re ready! For those who are new to Jam Pack, not to worry, we go through everything one step at a time and alway practice it more than once. In class we always say, “one more time just to make sure we’ve got it!”

JAM PACK 3/4
FOR STUDENTS IN GRADES 4-6
*PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR REGISTRATION IS NOT CONFIRMED UNTIL YOU ARE CONTACTED BY THE HEART.
We’re putting it all together in Jam Pack 3/4. Everyone gets a part, from the bass line, to the melody, to solos. We try improvising, we try arranging, we try composing. But most of the time, we play really fun music on xylophones. Students finish the year with an understanding of harmony, rhythm, melody and how all the parts work together. They know the historical context to the music they play, and they get to hear a lot of different kinds of music from around the world. It is a blast!
