Location

The Jewish Center

131 W 86th St, NY, NY

10th Floor, The Blue Room

To the left of the main entrance on 86th st, there is an automatic door and ramp for strollers.

This is the easiest way to get in. Please leave strollers in the lobby unless you have 2 children that are not able to walk yet, in which case you may bring your stroller to the 10th floor.

When you get to the 10th floor go straight out of the elevator towards the bathrooms. Before you get to the bathrooms you will see a BIG room on your left that has wall to wall carpet. Class will be in there.

-The class has AC units and windows that we can crack open.

Classroom Etiquette:

-Shoes off inside

-No solid food or pouches

-Bottles, nursing and any non-staining drinks are always ok!

-Try to limit cell phone use to 5 minutes in class (so you can rock out with your little one!)

-Adults - put your drinks (like coffee!) in a safe place and/or spill safe container.

-We are happy that class is a social place for adults too! But please talk quietly, so the kids can hear the music without your teacher having to yell.
-No outside toys in class unless your child needs a "Lovie" or you want to use your own shakers/bells as Toys/guitars can cause sharing issues and distractions sometimes.

What to Bring!

If you have a young infant, consider bringing a thin blanket for them to roll/do tummy Time on.

(and to protect the floor from spit-up, lol!)

We supply instruments for the kids (which we clean after each class)!
Please do not bring other toys to class unless you don't want to use our shakers, Bells & Drums.

But DO buy yourself some instruments so your kids can jam at home too!

Playing music at home will give them a chance to explore all they have learned in class.

See our recommended instruments here
