About Bandleader CJ!

CJ has been teaching Ramblin' Dan classes for four 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 young child 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 class! (which we clean after each class).
Please do not bring other Toys to class unless you really want to bring your shakers, Bells, Drums etc.

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

See our recommended instruments here

Classroom Etiquette:

-Please do not bring toys to class (unless you want to bring your own shakers or bells, but please no little guitars or other toys as they cause distractions)

If your child REALLY needs to bring a "lovey" for comfort that is ok, but please be advised if it causes a distraction it will have to be put away, which can often be harder for kids than just leaving it at home or in the stroller in the first place. However, usually when a child really needs a lovey the other kids get it, lol.

-Shoes off inside please

-Music should be social, but please talk quietly if talking with friends, so the kids can hear the music properly.

-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

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