Hi, I’m Jayne and I have been running my Monkey Music classes Chelsea and Westminster for the last 23 years!

Scroll down to the timetable and book your first FREE class.
Read more...A little bit background about me and what we do at Monkey Music
I am a professional violinist and have enjoyed a prolific career performing all over the world. When I started running Monkey Music all those years ago in 2002, I knew I had found the perfect way to pass on my musical knowledge to all our wonderful local families!
I am passionate about the amazing effects that music has on the development of little ones. I wish I had been able to go along to a Monkey Music class when I was little!
It's so important to introduce music right from the start for your little one and to choose a music class that supports the social, physical and language development at each stage in an interactive and nurturing musical environment.
Award Winning children’s music activity classes for babies, toddlers and preschool children in Chelsea, Gloucester Road, South Kensington, Pimlico and Belgravia.
We divide the children into 5, age specific, progressive classes, from our specialist baby curriculum at birth all the way up to 4 years old, supporting each stage of learning and development as an individual and a little musician.
Each class is structured, action packed and beautifully presented with amazing puppets and props, specialist percussion, dance and movement, magical bubbles and lots more! Everyone has so much fun they don't notice how much they are learning!
Lots of parents and nursery schools contact me all the time to say how much our classes have prepared their little ones for the next step in their education and have inspired and excited them to go on and learn an instrument at school.
What do we do as parents and carers?
Sharing precious time discovering the joy of music together, helping and encouraging each little new step is magical! Making new friends, supporting each other, celebrating the milestones and building memories for the future is what it’s all about. Your job is to have as good a time as your child!
Lots of our families stay with us throughout their preschool years, with all of their children and that can be 5 to 10 years with us, it really is such a privilege to be part of!
Our wonderful little team of teachers
I have a small team of wonderful, dedicated and talented colleagues, musicians, actresses and performers who have all been comprehensively trained, DBS checked and supported in class by Health and Safety, First Aid training, Covid 19 specific training and Child Protection Policies.
Dawn, Yvette and Claudia are ready to welcome you to our classes and can’t wait to meet you! They pour their hearts and souls (and a lot of work behind the scenes) into each and every class. They both have amazing voices, wowing everyone with their inspirational approach, bags of energy, love of children, laughter and learning to make everyone look forward to seeing them at class each week!
How do the classes for babies work when they are so tiny?
Did you know?
Studies show that babies exposed to music classes from an early age go on to do better in English, reading and Maths, as understanding and predicting rhythms and patterns are the key to future learning? Babies who engage in music making and moving to the beat smile more, are more communicative and reach out to explore the world around them sooner than babies who listen passively to music.
Our specialist Rock’n’Roll classes are designed to help you introduce music as part of your routine at home and we give you an abundance of tips on how to support the key social, physical and language aspects of development in our classes with our innovative songs, sensory props and puppets, little hands instruments and lots more.
Book your first FREE class today, it's super easy to book online!
Come along and share precious time in our baby and toddler music classes from Monkey Music (in Chelsea, Belgravia, Gloucester Road, Pimlico) and enjoy reaching each milestone together with us!

Just as language skills are developed early in life, so is musical talent. Regardless of the level of music aptitude with which children are born, they must have formal and informal experiences in music to maintain that level of potential.
