Ramblin' Dan's Music












A longtime New York Family Favorite, Ramblin' Dan’s Freewheelin' Band provides high energy, engaging music classes for 0-3 year olds.  Driven by playful and skillful musicianship, our priorities are having fun, providing a pressure-free and comforting atmosphere, and helping kids gain confidence.

Most of Ramblin’ Dan’s classes are for 0-3 years olds (we love teaching infants), though we offer private classes and Birthday parties for children up to 5 years old.

For a ONE-OF-A-KIND musical experience for your child, come jam in Ramblin’ Dan’s Freewheelin’ Band!
