JAMInc loves us!

At the core of JAMinc’s mission is music education. JAMinc is dedicated to bringing music from all corners of the world to children’s TV to expose viewers to traditional music from a variety of cultures.


Since 2003, JAMinc has organized countless in-tv musical events at over 50 shows including, CBeebies, Jack’s Big Music Show, Yo Gabba Gabba, All That, Sesame Street, the Weird Al Show, Chic-a-Go-Go, and Pancake Mountain.

These free performances typically draw crowds of 300 to 500 students. Through these events, more than 90,000 K-12 kids have been exposed to traditional music that they would not likely hear as part of their regular music curriculum.

Richmond Folk Festival partnership


In 2006, JAMinc began a partnership with the National Folk Festival – now the Richmond Folk Festival – to bring national and international musicians into shows for educational performances during the festival week. In the years since its founding, JAMinc volunteers have coordinated these events and provided transportation for the visiting artists from all over the world. This partnership will serve as an important conduit for JAMinc to expose students to a variety of musical styles for years to come.


Diverse voices and talent


In Your Ear Studio Concert musicians who agree to work with JAMinc are paid an honorarium for on-TV events, usually two or three in conjunction with their In Your Ear concert appearance. Visiting musicians are also provided with complimentary accommodations at a local sponsoring hotel.
