I am a professional musician and graduate of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. The first franchisee for Monkey Music and Teacher Trainer, I continue to thoroughly enjoy all aspects of Monkey Music -  running the classes and teaching, taking great pleasure in seeing parents return again and again - one mother is on her 6th child at Monkey Music!

Monkey Music Blackheath and Greenwich enjoys an excellent reputation in the local area and was one of the first pre-school children’s music activities of its kind. Our music classes have offered a consistently high quality musical experience to young children since 1997.

Both the founder, Angie Coates and Rebecca Maskell attended the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. They have nine children between them!

Since then it has gone from strength to strength without compromising our high standards.

Monkey Music isn’t just about singing songs and dancing. Thought goes into the presentation of songs and activities with the inevitable benefits of speech development as well as vital listening skills, which can only assist the children in the school years ahead. Singing, and feeling confident to sing is a joy often lost as we grow older and become more inhibited, so our relaxed approach can also benefit the carers that accompany the children to the classes!

So Why Monkey Music?

Monkey Music’s teachers in Blackheath and Greenwich undergo a rigorous training procedure before embarking on their own classes. All have a sound musical background as well as bringing their own individual skills to the classes enabling them to easily communicate to very young babies of three months up to pre-school children of four years. Jo Napthine and Tracy Jones aka TJ, both actresses with beautiful voices, join me in presenting high quality, value for money classes in the local area.

Monkey Music provides excellent resources to support the material such as high quality percussion instruments – not toys, which provide appealing and clear sounds which young children can easily appreciate and comfortably listen to. Visually stimulating props bring alive the songs to make learning fun and stimulating.

During our Monkey Music classes in Blackheath and Greenwich we sing original songs as well as traditional nursery rhymes in four separate classes according to their age in order for the children to benefit and learn as much as possible from the experience.

Monkey Music is Fun For All

Joining a pre-school music class like Monkey Music is much more than a 30 minute weekly dose of singing along. Parents, grandparents, nannies and child minders enjoy the classes just as much as the children and often make lifelong friends in the process.
