Join us for a complimentary class before committing to weekly classes - just click on the pink button at the top right of the screen to book!
Once you join our classes, we ask you to commit to attending weekly classes on a regular basis rather than drop-ins. This provides a regular and consistent routine for your little one, where they build on what they have learnt each week. It enables us to run relatively small classes so that your child can get personal attention from their teacher to support their development. If you miss a class for any reason, you can book on for a catch up on another day and time that suits you. We now offer the option to pay monthly for your classes too to help spread the cost.
Our Classes
Monkey Music runs a progressive curriculum in 5 different age categories so are built specifically for a baby or child’s development needs at that stage of their life. Most importantly, they are great fun for both you and your child! There are lots of opportunities for bonding with your little one as well as singing, movement and playing instruments. The curriculum has been developed with experts in education and child pschology, and the songs we sing are a combination of original pieces written by the team at Monkey Music, alongside well known nursery rhymes. If you're anything like me, you'll learn to love the Monkey Music songs and look forward to singing them with your little ones every week.
NEW! Beautiful Noise for newborn babies up to 16 weeks
A five-part programme for parents with their newborns up to around three months old. The interactive programme uses music, songs and activities in ways designed to deepen bonding between parents and their newborns, encourage Baby’s muscle development, improve visual tracking, and help teach spatial awareness, and language development.
Beautiful Noise increases the confidence that you are doing the right things for your baby by explaining a little of the science around the development of Baby’s hearing, brain and body while teaching repeatable ideas for how you can use music, noise, and play to help with their emotional and physical development.
Rock'n'Roll For Babies aged 3 - 12 months
In our first stage of classes we focus on gentle songs and fascinating sounds, introducing simple rhythms and helping your little ones develop through tracking sounds, exploring instruments, and feeling the beat of the music, listening to familiar songs and most importantly your voice!
Heigh-Ho for Toddlers aged 12 - 24 months
In our second stage, when your little ones are moving all over the place and exploring, we introduce catchy songs and upbeat tunes to keep them engaged! Your little ones are really enjoying making their own music and love recognising the familiar tunes and actions. Repetition is key to development and toddlers love dancing along to our weekly class song!
Jiggety-Jig for Toddlers aged 2 & 3
In Jiggety-Jig, our little ones are enjoying interacting with the other children in the class. As well as having lots of fun dancing to their favourite Monkey Music songs, and singing along, we introduce the fundamentals of a strong musical foundation, such as listening to each other, waiting their turn, and even composing their own masterpieces! There's much fun to be had with many props too!
Ding-Dong for 3 & 4 year olds
In our fourth and final stage of Monkey Music, our little ones are ready to start to learn to read music! We introduce this in a clever and simple way with the Kodaly method which uses visual aids to help introduce the concept of translating symbols into musical notes or direction. Our little ones start to compose their own rhythms and are also encouraged and supported to sing solos in class if they are comfortable to do so!
More About Me!
After loving taking my own daughters to classes, it's so wonderful to be able to bring the magic to you!
I have always been passionate about music and singing so I was keen to take my two daughters to Monkey Music classes when they were babies. It quickly became the highlight of our week so I jumped at the chance to launch a franchise and bring the joy of the classes to High Wycombe and Aylesbury! Both of my children have attended the entire curriculum, and it’s been amazing to see how music has played a role in all aspects of their development; social, language and physical. Even though they've completed Monkey Music now, they still loves all the songs and enjoys joining in with me while I'm practising at home.
I have sung in various choirs for most of my life including the City of London Choir, and perform in amateur musical productions, having recently played the Narrator in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, and Mother Superior in Sister Act. This, combined with a keen interest in child development makes being a Monkey Music teacher a dream career!
Daria joined the team 2 years ago and teaches our Aston Clinton and Tring classes. Daria is a Russian folk singer and a Monkey Music mum herself!
Aleks has been a Monkey Music mum for over 3 years now with both her children and is doing an amazing job having just joined the team in January 2024. She teaches in Princes Risborough (Fri) and High Wycombe (Thurs).

Hi I'm Sally and I'm excited to be bringing Monkey Music to babies and toddlers in Aylesbury and High Wycombe!
Singing has been my passion ever since I can remember, having sung in choirs, a band, and taken part in musicals, so to find a job where I can sing to babies and toddlers is a dream!

Aleks has been attending classes with her 2 children since 2020 and loves it so much she's become a teacher! Aleks' experience as a singer and voice over artist as well as her natural affiliation with young children makes her the perfect addition to the team!

Grace Hardy
Making music is a big part my day with my 2 little boys, so I jumped at the chance to bring my passion for music and education to the local area with Monkey Music. I've had a varied career performing and teaching and hope I can inspire your little ones to have a life long love of music like me!
