Babies are born to love music and studies have shown that babies appear to respond to music in the womb from 16 weeks! From birth, your baby will start to recognise and love the sound of your voice and the vibrations of your chest as you hold them close.
By 3 months your baby will be starting to experience emotions and communication. They will respond to different expressions, know your voice and will turn to look for you when they hear you. They may start laughing out loud and look around them in wonder and this is the perfect time to introduce music classes into your little one’s routine.
Baby music classes offer an excellent gentle introduction to music and singing for your baby and offer parents the opportunity to meet other parents and make new friendships in a safe, supportive and nurturing environment whilst enjoying a worthwhile activity with their little one.
Music classes for babies are also great fun and offer the opportunity of learning through play. Your little one will soon start to recognise and love the songs and actions as well as being around other children the same age and it’s likely your baby will eventually remember the songs and anticipate what’s coming. In fact they’ll be having so much fun, they won’t realise how clever they’re being as they learn all sorts of important early skills.
Try not to be embarrassed when your teacher encourages you to sing out loud. Most of us can't sing to save our lives, so you might think you sound terrible, but your baby will think you have the voice of an angel!
When choosing a baby music class, try to find a class that has specific, baby-friendly instruments for your little one to enjoy. Learning to handle and play their instruments is a great way for your baby to develop their fine motor skills and eye to hand co-ordination and at Monkey Music we use our own range of musical instruments. Our maracas, hand-drums, rainmakers and tambourines have been specially made for our little ones and support key areas of early development.
Monkey Music offer award winning music classes for children from 3 months to 4 years. Our progressive, educational and fun four stage curricula are a good fit for each age group and our original musical material has been written with a sound understanding of how children learn best.
