Hello! We’re Irina and Yulia, and we’re happy to bring Monkey Music to families in Banbury, Bicester, Kidlington, Woodstock, Witney, Carterton and Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire. Irina first joined Monkey Music as a parent and quickly saw how much the classes meant to her family—they soon became a special part of their week. With Yulia’s love of music and strong interest in child development, Monkey Music felt like the right way for us to share something valuable with our local community. We look forward to welcoming you and your little ones to enjoy music, movement, and play together.

You can join our events and workshops.
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.
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 had SO MUCH FUN at our first Monkey Music class today! My son smiled the entire time and Chloe was such an energetic and engaging teacher - we loved her!
Thanks you so much for your class! I was so impressed with the pace, creative songs and opportunity for dance and movement as well as your enthusiasm and obvious warm relationship with all the children there.
I found it quite emotional watching Mabel join in with so much of the content and learn some new music skills alongside others as there's little opportunity to do this in the current climate. Thank you so much!
LOVE CHLOE! She does the best sessions and has such a gorgeous voice ❤️
Chloe's voice and character is beautiful. We love our classes with Chloe ❤️
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!
