If it were a feature film, Jammin’ in January, a daylong educational gathering Saturday for young Vacaville students interested in music, would be the polar opposite of the Oscar-nominated film “Whiplash,” about a student drummer who wants to earn the respect of a fearsome teacher.

As it has four other times, the event — held again at Vacaville High and geared for elementary and middle school students interested in exploring primarily new musical experiences — appeared to be relaxed and earnest but mostly edifying fun for everyone involved, the fifth- to eight-graders, volunteer teachers and parents.
