We have been running local Monkey Music classes for babies and toddlers since 2010. Zed and Alex are brothers-in law, Zed runs the office,  and Alex is in charge of the teaching team. Alex has a background as a teacher and actor in theatre and television and Zed is a musician and worked at Sony. We work with an impressive team of professional singers, musicians and actors who we are fortunate to call friends and have been working with for many years.

Alex still gets the same buzz from teaching young children as he did when he first started as the class combines all of his passions: music, teaching and performing.

Alex heads up a team of talented and inspiring teachers. 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 your little ones 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 have the privilege of mentoring their musical development 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 your little ones again for holiday workshops or when they come back to say hello with their younger siblings.

Each of the four levels of Monkey Music is designed around the interests and capabilities of the children’s specific age groups. Classes combine traditional nursery rhymes and original Monkey Music songs. We use a wide variety of colourful props and musical teaching resources to create a lovely environment for fun and learning.

We have classes in Kensal Rise, Queen's Park, Primrose Hill, Belsize Park, West Hampstead and Hampstead.

We look forward to meeting you, and your little ones very soon!
