About Bandleader CJ!

CJ has been teaching Ramblin' Dan classes for over two years and is in high demand all over NYC!

With 1000 early childhood music classes taught, his engaging approach to the kids, coupled with his exceptional musicianship and quick humor, make his classes entertaining for both the kids and adults! A “musician’s musician,” CJ plays an array of instruments in professional capacities including guitar, piano and drums, and he is constantly gigging in New York clubs, weddings, and piano bars in addition to rocking out with our little members of The Freewheelin’ Band. We know you'll love his classes as so many already do!

About Bandleader Jonny!

Some of you may know Jonny (Jonathan B Wright) form his groundbreaking role of Hänschen in The Broadway Music Hit "Spring Awakening." And though he's also had significant roles on screen in Gossip Girl, Youth In Revolt, and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, it's his incredible musicality and animated presence that we care most about here at Ramblin' Dan! A father of a baby himself, Jonny brings a knowing comforting vibe to compliment his highflyin' and freewheelin' energetic classes! In addition to being adept at "Broadway" and "Theatrical" styles of music, Jonny's musical roots also include a lot of Reggae and Ska, which blends instinctually with our percussive style of guitar playing we try to implement at all Ramblin' Dan Classes.

What to Bring!

If you have a young infant who is not sitting up yet on their own or is still spitting up, please bring a thin blanket for them to roll around on and to protect the rug from spit up (lol).

We will supply instruments for kids to jam on in in class! (which we clean after each class) We do ask that you buy yourself some instruments so your kids can jam at home! Playing music at home will give them a chance to explore all they have learned in class.

See our recommended instruments here

Classroom Etiquette:

-Shoes off inside please

-No solid food or pouches as it is distracting for other kids and also could make a mess.

-Bottles/nursing/ and non-staining drinks are fine for your kids though :)

-For parents drinking coffee, smoothies, etc please make sure you always put your drinks in a safe place or in a spill safe container. We don't want to ruin any rugs! Lol

-Music is Social! We are happy if music class can be a time for adults to socialize with their friends, but please do so quietly, so the kids can hear the music without your teacher having to yell.

___________________________

Don't Come to Class if You're Sick Please!

If any sign of sickness by adult or child, they MUST stay home. Whether it's a fever, cough or runny nose, if you have any sign of sickness you MUST stay home. The teacher will do the same.
