Music with James is a high-energy class that meets in a large pre-war space with high ceilings, chandeliers and a grand piano. James plays a mixture of traditional children's songs, Broadway, popular and classical music on the guitar, piano, harmonica, and various orchestral instruments. The children sing along, dance, and play instruments with each song – shaking bells and maracas, tapping tambourines, drums, castanets and xylophones. Animal puppets, bouncing balls and a colorful parachute add to the fun.

James highlights a different orchestral instrument (wind, string or brass) in each class, such as the trumpet, French horn, violin, flute, clarinet, recorder and accordion. After 45 minutes of music, the children rush over to the healthy-snack table, then grab a toy for playtime while parents and caregivers catch up with friends.

Unlike most children's music classes in Manhattan, Music with James is a drop-in class. You may pay for each class or buy a ten-class series that never expires.
