Gentle songs and fascinating sounds nurture a lifetime of music and learning. TIME TO SING Your baby loves the sound of your singing voice. Monkey’s gentle songs and lullabies have been especially composed for you both to share precious moments. Song words are closely linked to rhythmic body movements which relieve your baby’s digestion and any stress they may be feeling. TIME TO MOVE Sensory props and stimulating visual experiences encourage Rock ‘n’ Roll babies to move their bodies and make sounds with their voices – this interaction activates the brain to release chemicals that help memory. TIME TO PLAY Baby – friendly percussion instruments release magical sounds and captivate and enthral our Rock ‘n’ Rollers! By reaching out and grasping for the sounds your baby will be stimulating their physical and emotional development. TIME TO SLEEP The more a baby is cuddled and held, the more secure and independent he will be when he gets older. Monkey’s soothing lullabies nurture a lifetime of music and are available as a digital download for you to learn and sing to your baby every day. A confident child is a musical child. Our Monkey Music Rock'n'Roll classes are suitable for Stage one from 3 months old.

Take flight with the flute, soaring high into the skies to somewhere over the rainbow. Cross the seven seas to the rhythmic pulse of sea shanties, wander through distand lands where ancient castles glow beneath the moonlight.

Catchy sounds and up beat tunes for making Monkey Music! TIME TO SING Music and language have many things in common and Monkey’s action songs have been especially written to support your child's early language development. Colourful props aid visual memory while repeated actions reinforce a feel for the ‘steady beat’. TIME TO MOVE Moving and dancing freely around the room with Monkey encourages your child to express the music that they hear with their whole bodies. Exercising to music forms and strengthens neural bridges that are necessary for later learning. TIME TO PLAY The Monkey Music Band offers your child the opportunity to practise fine motor skills using hand held percussion instruments. Band members need a certain amount of self awareness and self discipline which comes with regular band practice! TIME TO SLEEP Toddlers need active time for exercise and quieter times for calmer activities. Listening is a critical life skill which we nurture with relaxing and soothing music to conclude each Monkey Music class experience. Our Monkey Music Heigh-Ho classes are stage two for toddlers from 12 months.

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.

Students follow a weekly timetable of Drama / Film, Singing and Dance all taught by leading industry professionals that have a wonderful rapport with young people. We are training our students to be triple threat performers which is what the industry is asking for more and more. We encourage our students to hone their musicality and be able to combine this with acting and handling choreography. Even straight singers need to understand acting through song and, vice-versa, actors need to be able to hold a tune and use their physicality. We really feel this three-prong approach will stand our students head and shoulders above other performers in their field and allows to showcase themselves in the best possible light across all platforms. Within each discipline a variety of genres will be explored. Examples include: Drama - Learning to express oneself - Role play / improvisation - Script reading / writing - Audition/interview technique - Shakespeare to contemporary Dance - Communication through movement - Musical theatre - Street / contemporary - Ballet /salsa / swing - Historical dance Singing - Building confidence in Voice - Harmonies and vocal technique - Musical theatre - Pop / rock - Jazz Film - Respecting the camera - Acting on screen - Sitcoms / soap opera / commercials - Short films - Music videos - News and media Please note, students must arrive at least 10 minutes before classes start.

In our young toddler classes you will find a wide range of activities to stimulate this very active age group! We use counting and movement songs and different instruments to hold the growing attention span of your little ones. This class is more physical as young toddlers benefit greatly from a lot of ‘hands - on’ musical play with their adults! We start to introduce concepts that are developed fully in the pre-school classes, such as listening and responding, counting, colours, getting out & packing away the instruments, and how to bring calm moments to the class using teddies and lullabies. We will encourage you to dance with your little ones, hold their hands, swing them round, lift them up, bounce them around, make them laugh and harness all their raw energy into having fun together! These Boppin' Bunnies classes are suitable for children aged 18 months - 4 years old. Per term = £8/class | Per half term = £9/class | 1st time taster = £8 & Drop-in = £10 both subject to availability.
