About Bandleader Gerard!

Gerard is the epitome of a “Professional Entertainer.” The guy just knows how to have a blast WITH a crowd and sounds great while doing it! Whether he is playing roles in Broadway plays like Green Day’s “American Idiot,” “Les Miserables,” “The King And I,” or “Be More Chill” or front-manning various touring musical acts, or jamming along with various Children’s Programs Like Ramblin’ Dan’s Freewheelin’ Band, Gerard is at home on the stage. Most importantly, his comfort level transfers to the kids, so they can feel free to express themselves in classes and at parties. He’s a super friendly, engaging, high energy, talented teacher, and we’re stoked to have him in the Freewheelin’ Band.

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.

About Bandleader Will!

With a background and long history of performing Rock n Roll, Theater and Musical Theater, Bandleader Will has the perfect mix for an ideal Ramblin' Dan Teacher. Warm, energetic and talented, Will is sure to win your kids over in a heartbeat and help them enjoy and explore music in no time. Will Joined us in the spring of 2023 and has been wowing families since at his classes and parties. We're so excited to have him on our team!

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.
