Razzberry Jazzberry Jam is a Canadian animated/live action preschool musical television series aired on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on December 23, 2008. This series is about music. All the characters are anthropomorphic musical instruments. In each episode, a special guest arrives at "The House of Jam" and the band learn about that guest (instrument) and a new song that features that instrument. Each episode also has two live action components where children learn about musical concepts with real musicians and real instruments. [6] The animation is done with Macromedia Flash 8. [7]
Razzberry Jazzberry Jam received positive reviews.
Joyce Slaton of Common Sense Media rated the show three stars out of five, saying it "gentle, inclusive, and filled with both musical references and actual songs in a variety of genres, this animated show is best for preschoolers, particularly those with an interest in music." [8]
