Hello! I'm Anna and I am thrilled to be running Monkey Music classes for babies and toddlers across Potters Bar, Enfield and Cheshunt. As a Monkey Music mum, I've seen first hand how the award-winning curriculum delivered in our fun, engaging and stimulating classes has enabled my son to flourish. Come along and see for yourself!
Read more...My Monkey Music journey began shortly after we had moved in to the Enfield area and I was searching for baby and toddler music classes that I could take my son Samuel along to. From a young age he had always responded so positively to different musical sounds. Music and drama played a central role in my childhood; playing the flute in my local youth orchestra, singing in my local choir and performing in amateur theatre productions. As such, I was very keen to nurture Samuel's interest in music and find a baby music class that I could take him to. We attended our first Rock'n'Roll class at Monkey Music and both he and I were immediately captivated. The magical sounds, abundance of original catchy songs and the unique, lightly structured and progressive curriculum quickly made this class the highlight of our week!
The Monkey Music age-specific curriculum begins with Rock'n'Roll which is a gentle and soothing introduction to music where babies are mesmerised by the enchanting musical sounds and sensory props. We spend lots of time creating really magical moments for you to bond with your little ones. Once your little one is on the move they will graduate to the faster paced Heigh-Ho class where our toddlers will experience colourful props and start to develop their language skills and a feel for the steady beat through action songs. At the age of two, children join our Jiggety-Jig classes where their musical development is entwined with story-telling and role play songs encouraging them to use their imagination in a musical setting. Children continue to be exposed to a range of musical instruments exploring timbre, pitch and tempo. The final stage of the curriculum is Ding-Dong. In this class, we use both graphic and rhythmic notation to help children learn to read and compose music whilst also learning about the different instruments of the orchestra.
Our classes are perfectly paced and deliberately small in size so that each child has the opportunity to reach their full potential. Through all stages of the curriculum, the structure of our class remains the same and each stage has its own signature class song which provides familiarity for your children, encourages them and you to sing along and supports the progressive nature of the curriculum. All children will have the opportunity to make music with their own set of instruments and these are tailored to each of our age-specific classes.
It has been amazing to watch Samuel develop socially, physically and musically at his Monkey Music classes and I am privileged to now be providing classes for my local community. With classes running throughout the week and at the weekend in Forty Hill, Goffs Oak, Cedars Park, Potters Bar, Broxbourne, Waltham Abbey and Hertford, we are sure that there is a class that will suit your schedule and we look forward to welcoming your family and sharing some precious time with you at class very soon!

A absolutely loves his Monkey Music sessions - he even thanks me for taking him! Àine is absolutely fantastic!
Yesterday was an absolute delight at Monkey Music with Jessie! We enjoyed ourselves so much and didn’t want it to finish. We’ve booked for the rest of term and I’m so excited!
Your sessions are always fantastic and R and I have really appreciated this term as a whole. I can see how you are stretching our kids’ understanding of music, which is really wonderful to see - thank you
The classes are fantastic, we had so much fun!
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for giving L so much joy during this extremely challenging time. It's so lovely to see how much you have brought out her love of music and confidence to sing and join in.
Monkey Music parties are great fun for babies and children of all ages. Parties are tailored to suit every occasion and always include the birthday child’s favourite Monkey Music songs!
Monkey Music holiday workshops are a popular way to keep children entertained during the holidays. Unlike our regular classes where children are strictly grouped according to age, the holiday workshops cater for a mixed age group of children.

Since they began, in 1993, over 4.8 million classes have entertained hundreds of thousands of families across the UK!
