Monkey Music Baby & Toddler Classes Music Classes in Baldock, Hitchin & Welwyn
Lizzie Styles 01462 530705 baldock.hitchin@monkeymusic.co.ukHello! My name is Lizzie and I’m thrilled to be offering the Monkey Music experience in North Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire! Our age-specific weekly classes for children aged 3 months – 4 years have been specially written and created so that families learn together through music, whilst making friends. Our specially trained Monkey Music teachers offer a supportive environment that is equally rewarding for both the little ones and grown-ups.
Read more...I have always loved music and performing, which has led me to play several musical instruments including the piano and the guitar, and professional vocal coaching.
When my daughter was born, watching her grow, engage and learn music gave me a whole new perspective on the magic of music for children. I was also a Monkey Music parent myself and I found real value in the classes, they were a highlight of my week! My love of music and keen interest in child development makes Monkey Music a perfect career choice for me.
Our team of amazing teachers run classes in Hitchin (SG5), Knebworth (SG3), Biggleswade (SG18), Welwyn (AL6), Letchworth (SG6), Stondon, Henlow (SG16), Stotfold, Fairfield Park and Baldock (SG7). 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. You can choose to pay for your booking on a monthly basis 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!
Book your first FREE class now. We look forward to sharing precious time with you and your family at a venue nearby very soon!

We've been attending monkey music for 2 years now and absolutely love it. Lizzie is amazing! So full of energy, really engaging, super friendly and approachable. We would highly recommend her and her classes!
We love our Monday mornings with Lizzie, Monkey & Mo! As a busy working Mum with other children these mornings are perfect for me and my youngest to have some 1-1 time.
My son loves going to Monkey Music in Baldock. I take him to many baby classes but this is by far his most enjoyable! He is stimulated and engaged throughout the class. Highly recommend!
I’m so glad we found Lizzie's class. I recommend her to everyone!! Grateful for the new skills my daughter is learning as well as the memories we are making whilst having fun!
It has been amazing watching our son develop through these amazing classes. At home, his favourite things to play with are now his instruments! Fun, friendly, and educational classes!
Celebrate with Monkey and Mo!
Monkey Music parties are great fun for babies and children of all ages. Parties are tailored to suit every occasion and always include the birthday child’s favourite Monkey Music songs!

Holiday fun for all with our Holiday Workshops!
Monkey Music holiday workshops are a popular way to keep children entertained during the holidays. Unlike our regular classes where children are strictly grouped according to age, the holiday workshops cater for a mixed age group of children.

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.
