Our Mini Mozart Babies class is suitable for children aged 0-13 months old Babies are on the most magical voyage of discovery – everything they experience shapes how they understand the world and up until a child sees someone playing live music, it doesn’t make sense. It’s a disembodied sound that comes from a box plugged into the wall. Pianos and Parachutes, Giant Scrunchies and Saxophones, Bubbles and Bach, Puppets and Strings, this class has everything you need to inspire the Mini Mozart in your child! Don’t let these enchanting moments disappear without you having noticed them. ABOUT MINI MOZART CLASSES Mini Mozart offers fun and interactive live music classes for toddlers and babies. The classes feature two or more live instruments; a clarinet, violin, flute, French horn, saxophone or trumpet with a piano accompanist. The idea of Mini Mozart is to get children actually listening, not just hearing. Children interact with our live musicians in a way that is impossible with recorded music. It’s hard to say which will be your favourite part of the class; the warm up where the teachers introduce their instruments allowing your little one to get up close and touch the instruments, or the part where they reveal their suitcase full of fun props that will entice your child on an interactive musical adventure. There’s no doubt that seeing the children’s captivated faces as we open up an instrument case and show them how to put it together to make a sound is hugely gratifying as a musician. For the parents it’s entrancing. The Mini Musical part of the class is based on a different fairy tale each week and this is where we use every trick in the book to awaken the musician in each child. Many children experience things primarily through the visual, so our pianist plays contrasting excerpts of fast and slow Classical Music while the adults move the parachute in time over the children’s heads so that they see as well as hear tempo. You’ll choose a percussion instrument to play along with ‘start and stop’ activities that really galvanise the children’s’ understanding of what a conductor does and musical ‘rests’. You’ll be mesmerised by gorgeous Classical repertoire as your child practices their hand-eye co-ordination touching bubbles softly floating in the air. Remember all the songs your parents sang to you? That’s what you will hear in class. Classic nursery rhymes weaved into a classic children’s story with Classical Music. That’s not to say we don’t give it a modern twist though! For example, when Cinderella’s carriage turns into a pumpkin, she gets the night bus home and we all sing ‘The Wheels On The Bus’. When the Three Little Pigs despatch the Big Bad Wolf, we celebrate by singing The Oakey Cokey. We often find the parents love the songs as much as the children because the musical arrangements transform the songs from dull to delightful! Check us out on iTunes if you don’t believe us!

Older toddlers have fun with their friends and develop a strong musical foundation for their future learning. TIME TO SING Songs for dressing up and telling simple stories! ‘Pretending’ is an important new area of learning as exploration and self expression builds self confidence. Through positive music interaction with each other, our toddlers are also learning important lessons about boundaries and how to handle frustration! TIME TO MOVE Toddlers are keen to get to know each other – bigger more exciting props such as hoops and parachute are excellent for sharing and making friends! Holding hands with partners in Monkey’s circle dances often makes the grown-ups feel very happy too! TIME TO PLAY Composing music is something that comes naturally to our Jiggety-Jiggers! Their strong musical foundation gives them super musical confidence. Props, images, music, stories and poems inspire our little monkeys as they create and perform their own special music. TIME TO SLEEP Most of our classes end with a little time for quiet reflection. Our Jiggety-Jiggers are gently reminded to practise new songs at home using some song words which may be printed from the Monkey Music Club. They may also be invited to bring something from home, to show in class the following week, as part of class topic discussions. Our Monkey Music Jiggety-Jig classes are Stage three for 2 + 3 years old.

Experience music from all around the world– music from both past and present, near and far! From The Beatles to Bach! In Music Level 1, children will delight in the sound of instruments, and “singing” through musical baby talk. They’ll enjoy being sung to, experiencing new sounds and the anticipation of surprise!

Ding-Dong children are now ready to learn to read music - this is a huge milestone and paves the way for a bright musical future! TIME TO SING Singing comes naturally to Monkey and his oldest friends. Everyone is invited to take the lead in singing games and to sing a solo ‘spot’ (not compulsory!). Familiar songs form the basis for vocal improvisation and encourage children to share story ideas. TIME TO MOVE Playing together and inventing dances is what our Ding-Dongers like to do best! Dance of the ‘Autumn Leaves’ is always a moving highlight of our Ding-Dong year! TIME TO PLAY Learning to read music is an integral element to each class. These clever monkeys use their new reading skills to compose and write their own music which they play with their friends. TIME TO LISTEN Each week the children focus on finding out more about an instrument from the orchestra. As they begin to recognise the different orchestral sounds, the children begin to express their preferences. This is excellent preparation for choosing which instrument to learn to play later on! Our Ding-Dong classes are suitable for Stage four for 3 + 4 year olds.
