In 'normal' times, whatever they may be (!), I run classes in Wendover, Tring, Haddenham, Waddesdon and High Wycombe. We're back online for lockdown 3 but are working towards stage 2 of the Government's plans of reopening face to face from April 12th. Check out the timetable for details and book online to reserve a spot. If you can't wait until April, why not join us online for either live classes via Zoom with the wonderful Vicky, or else try our pre-recorded classes with Sally, which you can watch at a time convenient to you, and as many times as you like throughout the week!

The feedback I received during the first lockdown whilst offering classes live online was amazing, and it's been wonderful to be able to provide you with an opportunity not only to share some precious time with your little one, watching them engage in the music of our classes, but also to have some live interaction with me and Vicky, and other mummies and daddies for 30 minutes - a bit of escapism from all the craziness of COVID-19. It's so important during this time to keep our minds and bodies both physicially and mentally active and Monkey Music at Home has hopefully done this!

Getting back together face to face is our priority, but your safety is of utmost importance so as always we will be following Government guidelines and ensuring we provide the safest environment possible for us all to return back together face to face..

I'm so excited to be welcoming Vicky to the team - she has joined all raring to go and has done an amazing job being adaptive and jumping straight into running amazing classes live online via Zoom.

Our Classes

Monkey Music runs a progressive curriculum in 4 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 making music. The curriculum has been developed working closely with experts in education and child pschology, and the songs we sing are all original, written by the team at Monkey Music, with some recognisable nursery rhymes thrown in every now and then for good measure. 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. 

Rock'n'Roll For Babies aged 3 - 12 months

Our first stage of classes are just wonderful. We focus on gentle songs and fascinating sounds, instroducing simple rhythms and helping your little ones to 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 to them 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 songs

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! My eldest daughter has attended the entire curriculum, and it’s been amazing to see how music plays a role in all aspects of her development; social, language and physical. Even though she's completed Monkey Music now, she 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!
