We started attending Monkey Music in 2008 with our first baby and we were inspired by the structured lessons plans, the wide range of classroom resources and the developmental aims of the songs and activities. Having tried almost all the classes we soon decided that Monkey Music was our favourite baby music class and all three of our children have been to all the classes of all the levels. As a result, the house is rarely without someone practising an instrument!

In 2012 Alex won "Most Outstanding Activity Leader for Under 5's - South" in the What's on 4 Little ones Awards & he heads up our talented team of teachers and is responsible for their ongoing training. they work together on their interpretation of the curricumlum to bring fresh, exciting and stimulating lesson plans to class every week. All of our teachers love running their classes and are passionate about introducing music into the lives of babies, toddlers and children in a way that makes listening, playing and dancing to music an exciting event that the children want to enjoy when they’re at home as well as in class. Music is an important first line of communication between adults and children and we enjoy introducing you and your children to fun new ways of playing and learning together. Many of the activities that we introduce in class can be enjoyed at home too and we will often send you home with ideas for new games and activities. We pride ourselves on providing a music class that toddlers and babies will thrive in.

The progressive nature of the curriculum means that families often stay with us for several years. We meet our little monkeys as babies in Rock’n’Roll when they are just starting to explore new sights and sounds, beginning to track objects and instruments, responding to exciting new sounds and learning about object permanence. We then often then have the privilege of mentoring their musical development through the toddler years right up until our Ding-Dong level for 3 and 4 year-olds, where they start to be able to recognise the different sections of the orchestra and start learning the basics of notation. It is very difficult to say goodbye at the last class, but we are lucky enough to see our little monkeys again for holiday workshops or when they come back to say hello with their younger siblings.

We have baby and toddler activities in Primrose Hill (NW1), Hampstead Village (NW3), South End Green at Keats House Library (NW3), Willesden Green (NW2), Queen’s Park (NW6), West Hampstead (NW6), Belsize Park & Swiss Cottage (NW3). We look forward to meeting you, and your little monkeys very soon!
