“During the best concerts, the children are watching and playing along with the adults in the audience as much as they are watching me. I lead the games, but the children are most likely to remember the joy of their family play”


Jim Gill has a unique approach to his concerts for young children and families. This is because his graduate studies in child development have convinced him that family play is more important to young children than music alone….whether the music is classical, folk or rock and roll.

In a concert, Jim bangs out energetic rhythms on his banjo while everyone claps, jumps, dances and even sneezes along. The concert is filled, of course, with songs from Jim’s award-winning recordings for young children. Jim’s true art, however, is beyond the music. Jim’s true art is to create a joyful musical experience for children and parents together.

Whether it is a concert for 1000 people or a concert for 100, Jim Gill transforms the concert hall into a family room where children and adults play together.
