Having both come from a musical background, Chris and I are passionate about music and how it can play such an important part in a child’s development as well as becoming a valuable part of family life. We are excited to combine our love of music and keen interest in education and child development by offering you our brilliant Monkey Music classes across Oxfordshire.

Our team of amazing teachers currently run classes across Oxfordshire every day during the week at NOA Summertown OX2 7DP, Woodstock Road Baptist Church Woodstock Road OX2 7NQ, St Margaret’s Institute Polstead Road OX2 6TN, Christ Church Hall Abingdon OX14 1PL, Thame Barns Centre Thame OX9 3AJ and Millets Farm Frilford OX13 5HB. 

You can see our timetable below for more details and to book your first FREE class. Following on from your first free class you will be invited to book your spot at our small regular weekly class where you and your little one will learn together each week with children of a similar age. Our classes work on a monthly rolling subscription, and we also offer catch-up classes as we know life with a little one can be unpredictable.

Monkey Music is a good fit for children from newborn to 4 years old. We offer children and their parents or carers a safe and creative space to learn through different musical experiences. Our age-specific classes have been created with your child’s development in mind and we use our own original and catchy Monkey Music songs to support all aspects of development, including language development, physical development and social and emotional development.

Beautiful Noise – a 5-part programme for parents or carers with newborn babies up to 16 weeks old. Making sense of Baby’s world through sound. A mix of in-person classes and pre-recorded sessions plus a kit bag containing musical instruments and a sensory scarf to use at home.

Rock‘n’Roll – weekly baby classes for parents and carers with babies from 3 – 12 months. This is our first stage of weekly classes and we focus on gentle songs and fascinating sounds. Our little ones learn and develop through our magical sounds and the sound of your voice. Each class is led by a specially trained Monkey Music teacher who will engage you and your baby as you bond together.

Heigh-Ho – weekly toddler classes for parents and carers with toddlers from 12 months. The second stage of our Monkey Music classes with our little ones up on their feet being musical explorers! Our catchy songs and simple dances keep our toddlers entertained whilst they make music and have fun together. Repetition and ‘having a go’ are key at this stage and our toddlers love playing their instruments whilst dancing and singing along to their favourite Monkey Music songs, especially when they are trying to find where Monkey is Hiding!

Jiggety-Jig – weekly classes for parents and carers with toddlers who are 2 and 3 years old. In this third stage of our Monkey Music classes the children are beginning to interact more with each other whilst making friends. They still enjoy singing and dancing but are now also very confident playing their instruments in the Monkey Music Band. They learn how to make music as part of a group and how to compose their own music using their favourite sounds.

Ding-Dong – weekly classes for children aged 3 and 4 with their parents and carers. In our fourth and final stage of regular weekly classes, our little ones are ready to learn to read music! They understand what they hear and now it is time to learn what sounds and music looks like written down. We introduce this in a clever and simple way using some of the Kodaly method which Monkey has adapted to fit with his favourite songs and musical activities! During these classes, our children take the lead from their parents or carers who enjoy watching their children grow in confidence through singing solos and having fun making Monkey Music together!
