"What happens when you combine an ecologist and a music teacher? Why, Nature Jams of Course."​ - WHYY

 

Nature Jams is a family band and wellness media group created by Mr. Rob and Mr. Zach. They write and perform family friendly music about nutrition, kindness, the environment, and about learning how to play music.

 

"To truly be a band for families, Nature Jams music is a little silly, a lot educational, and it is written using modern pop instruments, pop song forms, and a pervasive upbeat style that music-loving parents can really enjoy" says Mr. Rob. 

 

Mr Zach says, "Nature Jams is designed to get kids thinking positively about food, character development, the environment, and music."

 

What's more, is that both their CD's and their shows are highly interactive. Their songs are written with the room for call and response choruses and children at their shows get involved through several different interactive mediums. The audience gets a chance to play musical instruments, sing-a-long by following the projected lyrics, they get to color along on long stretches of butcher paper, and they get to eat sugar-based bubbles in a mock rainy day finale! The entire Nature Jams performance is set to video, so children can easily bridge the lyrics and music with the images they represent, and the audience can easily sing-a-long with projected lyrics.

 

By creating an undeniably fun experience, Nature Jams hopes to foster a positive connection between its family audience and a healthy, happy, environmentally conscious lifestyle.​



Nature Jams has brought their show to schools, concert halls, classrooms, wildlife refuges, restaurants, and markets all across the eastern United States. In both a concert/assembly setting, and in more intimate classroom settings, Nature Jams' messages get through to children. The group currently has four different programs and is busy recording albums and writing classroom activities and lesson plans that correspond with each of their programs.

About Nature Jams

"Music is the weapon."

                 

 - Fela Kuti

The Nature Jams Mission

​Fela Kuti once said that "Music is the weapon." He said that because music is a contagious form of carrying a message. Music has the remarkable ability to get stuck in our heads, transform our mindset, and elicit emotions of all kinds. Nature Jams uses original music as a powerful tool that engages and empowers children, helping them to become environmentally and socially conscious citizens within a growing global community.

​

Our mission is to help spread awareness and educate children around the world about 

      - improved health through diet and exercise

       - sustainable food production

       - fostering a personal connection with nature​

       - positivity and creativity through music​

       - interpersonal relationships, and teaching tolerance

​

Our programs which focus on eating healthy, being kind to others and the earth, and being happy, all promote positive and memorable learning experiences for children. We intend to help prepare children for the challenges they will face as the future caretakers and community members of our planet.
