Trusted by parents since 1992, there are 4-stages of classes, tailored specifically to the needs of babies, toddlers and pre-school children between 3 months and 4 years of age. It’s the perfect way to meet new friends and to share precious time together! Our classes are designed to help develop language, physical and social skills, all through wonderful musical activities and live singing.
Research has shown that early exposure to music supports a child in almost all areas of development. At Monkey Music we believe that it’s important for babies and small children to be immersed in making music in a fun, exciting and structured environment. We have a wonderful, innovative and unique 4-stage program, written by professional musicians within the Early Years Foundation Stages framework. Whilst experiencing musical concepts such as pulse, rhythm, pitch, tempo and dynamics, our beautifully presented classes lay the foundations for future learning – all whilst having lots of fun!
Classes are 30 minutes long, and are jam-packed with musical activities, learning opportunities, great resources and specialist percussion instruments. Not a moment is wasted! Our class sizes are carefully managed to ensure that everyone has the best possible time. We love that parents, grandparents and nannies all enjoy our classes as much as the children. Lots of our families tell us how they made lasting friendships from their early days at Monkey Music and how we have nurtured a lifetime of music for all of their family. Many parents have commented on how important classes have been in preparing their children for nursery and school.
Our teachers are carefully selected and pour their hearts into preparing well structured classes, wowing the children and grown-ups with their wonderful singing voices, sound musical approach and professional delivery.
Monkey Music has won many awards and has gained a reputation for high standards and uniqueness. We sing many original songs, as well as lots of traditional nursery rhymes for everyone to sing-a-long to.
Rock’n’Roll
For babies from 3 months
Babies are born to love music! Music is invaluable to healthy development and has a tremendous effect on babies. Our baby classes are gentle, calm and full of wonder. Focusing on bonding and confidence, carers interact with their baby enjoying pulse based musical activities, fascinating sounds and sensory moments. Our classes are the perfect way to share precious time together, and to meet other babies and carers who live in your area.
Heigh-Ho
For toddlers from 12 months
A more up-beat curriculum for a ‘busy’ age group that are raring to go! Heigh-Ho classes are full of action songs to develop co-ordination, spatial awareness and to enjoy the ‘beat’ together. We also focus on listening skills and language development, making lots of sounds together. Colourful props capture the imagination and hold concentration, and there are lots of instruments to play.
Jiggety-Jig
For 2 + 3 year olds
Jiggety-Jig children are really starting to express themselves through music making, singing and dancing. They are encouraged to work a little more independently in this class, and through absorbing activities further develop social and language skills. These classes are slightly slower in pace to develop concentration. Musically, the children are starting to keep a steady beat and further explore rhythm, pitch, tempo and dynamics.
Ding Dong
For 3 + 4 year olds
Building on the foundations laid in Jiggety-Jig, Ding-Dong children are ready to progress their musical learning further and start to recognise graphics depicting sounds and rhythm notation. They are introduced to members of the orchestra with the opportunity to touch and play various instruments. From here they are all set for a wonderful musical future.
ABOUT RACHEL
I am a passionate musician and performer, so when I became a mother I was keen to share a special musical experience with my children. I discovered Monkey Music and was hugely impressed with the quality of teaching, resources and the curricula. I became a Monkey Music teacher over 8 years ago and am now thrilled to be a franchisee. As well as extensive training in music, dance and drama, more recently I also gained an early childhood music teaching qualification with the British Kodaly Academy, covering music education from 0-7 years.
I am extremely lucky to have Heather on the teaching team in East Sheen, Chiswick and Hammersmith. Her warm personality, professionalism and fantastic talent are an asset to the franchise!
Busy in the office, is Annie, our fabulous Office Administrator, who is always ready to answer any questions you may have.

"Monkey Music is a ray of sunshine in our week. My little boy has learnt so much, but as far as he's concerned he's had an absolute ball waving flags, playing instruments and popping bubbles"
"My granddaughters and I adore Monkey Music with Rachel. Their passion for music has been nurtured and the CD is on loop in the car. Thank you for these precious memories!"
"I am always amazed at the high quality instruments given to the children to play, and the variety. Everyone gets their own sets of sounds to explore. Brilliant!"
