Why Monkey Music For Me?

I was recommended to try Monkey Music with my second daughter and it really turned out for us to be something quite special - fun, educational and absorbing for both parent and child.  The fun, catchy Monkey songs were firm favourites in our house from the outset, but what we truly loved was the structure of the class.  Each 30-minute class is jam-packed with music and activities but follows a reassuringly familiar structure.  The same link song introduces the next Section, be it Time To Move, Time to Play or Time to Sleep with varied activities, props and instruments introduced each week.

Today as owner and a teacher I can experience Monkey Music from the other side! It truly is a joy to deliver classes to the enthusiastic little monkeys and each stage has something magical and different about it.  I struggle to say which stage I enjoy teaching the most when asked!  The move to online classes for babies and online classes for toddlers has been a steep learning curve for me but the award winning curriculum works just as well!

4-Stage Progressive Curriculum

Rock'n'Roll for babies from 3 months, is a gentle start to music making with an emphasis on providing a stimulating musical environment as the basis to support your child's future emotional and intellectual development.  The songs are simple and pulse based with a beautiful sensory based WOW section towards the end of the class, the stage is supported by its own instrument kit.

Heigh-Ho for toddlers from 12 months, is for newly mobile toddlers who are getting up on their feet exploring their own space.  It is up-beat and entertaining and is taught at a fairly fast pace.  A variety of pulse-based songs are used as songs quickly become favourite "cult" songs.  The children benefit from lots of interaction with themed classes and colourful props.

Jiggety-Jig for 2 + 3 year olds introduces a slightly slower pace to the class as the children join in more independently from their carer's.  They enjoy dancing and singing in their group and even begin to compose their own music!  The teacher refers to the instruments by their proper names and children begin to play in time with the music using rhythmic sequences.

Ding-Dong for 3 + 4 year olds is when the children take their first steps to recognising written music, understand more complex rhythmic sequences and learn about the instruments in the orchestra.  Some favourite Monkey songs still feature and the children enjoy singing and playing more advanced percussion instruments.
