Hello! My name is Melissa Oliver and I’m thrilled to be offering the Monkey Music experience in Cobham and Weybridge! Our age-specific weekly classes for children aged 3 months – 4 years have been specially written and created so that families learn together through music and whilst making friends. Our specially trained Monkey Music teachers offer a supportive environment that is equally rewarding for both the little ones and grown-ups.
Read more...As a former Pre School teacher in the US with a Degree in Early Childhood Education, I understand the value that music plays in early education and the catchy Monkey Music songs and brilliant bespoke age-specific curricula are a great fit for each age group. Also having had the benefit of being a Monkey Music parent myself with my two children, I immediately understood the value in the classes and as a family, they were a highlight of our week!
Our team of amazing teachers run classes in Cobham at Cobham Reform Church and The Sacred Heart Church Hall (KT11 3BD, KT11 1AA) and in Weybridge at Weybridge St. Mary’s Church and St James’ Parish Centre (KT13 9SZ and KT13 8DE) You can see our timetable below for more details and to book your first FREE class. Following on from your first free class you will be invited to book your spot at our small regular weekly class where you and your little one will learn together each week with children of a similar age. Your payments will be collected on a monthly basis and we also offer catch-up classes as we know life with a little one can be unpredictable.
Book your first FREE class now. We look forward to sharing precious time with you and your family at a venue nearby very soon!
Monkey Music Curricula
Monkey Music is a good fit for children from newborn to 4 years old. We offer children and their parents or carers a safe and creative space to learn through different musical experiences. Our age-specific classes have been created with your child’s development in mind and we use our own original and catchy Monkey Music songs to support all aspects of development, including language development, physical development and social and emotional development.
Beautiful Noise – a 5-part programme for parents or carers with newborn babies up to 16 weeks old. Making sense of Baby’s world through sound. A mix of in-person classes and pre-recorded sessions plus a kit bag containing musical instruments and a sensory scarf to use at home (coming soon to Cobham and Weybridge).
Rock‘n’Roll – weekly baby classes for parents and carers with babies from 3 – 12 months. This is our first stage of weekly classes and we focus on gentle songs and fascinating sounds. Our little ones learn and develop through our magical sounds and the sound of your voice. Each class is led by a specially trained Monkey Music teacher who will engage you and your baby as you bond together.
Heigh-Ho – weekly toddler classes for parents and carers with toddlers from 12 months. The second stage of our Monkey Music classes with our little ones up on their feet being musical explorers! Our catchy songs and simple dances keep our toddlers entertained whilst they make music and have fun together. Repetition and ‘having a go’ are key at this stage and our toddlers love playing their instruments whilst dancing and singing along to their favourite Monkey Music songs, especially when they are trying to find where Monkey is Hiding!
Jiggety-Jig – weekly classes for parents and carers with toddlers who are 2 and 3 years old. In this third stage of our Monkey Music classes the children are beginning to interact more with each other whilst making friends. They still enjoy singing and dancing but are now also very confident playing their instruments in the Monkey Music Band. They learn how to make music as part of a group and how to compose their own music using their favourite sounds.
Ding-Dong – weekly classes for children aged 3 and 4 with their parents and carers. In our fourth and final stage of regular weekly classes, our little ones are ready to learn to read music! They understand what they hear and now it is time to learn what sounds and music looks like written down. We introduce this in a clever and simple way using some of the Kodaly method which Monkey has adapted to fit with his favourite songs and musical activities! During these classes, our children take the lead from their parents or carers who enjoy watching their children grow in confidence through singing solos and having fun making Monkey Music together!

These classes have been a real lifeline for me and my son. He loves all the lights, bubbles, music and songs and for me, it breaks up the day and gives me something to focus on.
I started coming to Monkey Music with my eldest when she was just three months old and 5 years later I'm still going with my youngest. It's never dull, always engaging and the teachers are amazing!
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!
