About Monkey Music introduces music to very young children in a way they easily understand and enjoy. Established in London in 1993, classes are now a weekly treat for over 10,000 families across the UK. Nurturing a Lifetime of Music. Story Monkey Music was created by Guildhall School of Music graduate Angie Coates, Monkey Music’s Managing Director. Classes first opened in London in 1993 and Monkey Music’s popularity led to the company being franchised in 1998. More than 50 franchises now operate over 300 locations across the UK. Specialist teachers are carefully chosen for their natural ability to communicate with and entertain young children and their carers, gently encouraging social and musical skills within a fun, stimulating and friendly environment. The company’s Head Office is in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. Mission Monkey Music: Nurturing a Lifetime of Music. The ear is the first organ to develop fully in the womb, enabling babies to take comfort in the music of their mother's voice at just 11 weeks. All children are born with instinctive musicality but only if this is encouraged early enough will a child fulfil their full musical potential. The benefits of music for very young children, particularly when taught within a group, go much deeper than this. Early exposure to singing, listening to and playing music can sharpen up a whole range of educational skills. Language and numerical skills flourish through action songs and rhymes; fine motor skills are refined through playing hand held percussion instruments, while an awareness of space and one another is developed through movement. The children's confidence and self-esteem grows rapidly as their involvement in the group increases. Products Monkey Music Classes Rock'n'Roll – from 3 months: Designed specifically for Mums, Dads and very young babies to share together. During each class the babies and adults are engaged through gentle songs, fascinating sounds and absorbing activities. Heigh-Ho – from 12 months: Young toddlers love being up on their feet so lots of dancing and moving encourages the children to explore the space around them and express the music they hear. The children thrive on the 'steady beat' and are very enthusiastic young members of the Monkey Music band. Themed classes and bold colourful props captivate the children and encourage everyone to get involved. Jiggety-Jig – from 2 years: By this stage, children can really express the joy that music brings them. They sing, dance, play, move, tell stories, speak, and listen to music together. Monkey Music teachers make sure that the children develop their sense of rhythm whilst playing in time to Monkey Music songs and games. Hoops, parachute games and circle dances are always popular Jiggety Jig activities. Ding-Dong – from 3 years Up until now the children have been listening and responding to music they hear. Now that their ears have been ‘finely tuned’ Monkey Music teaches them what music means when they see it written down. Reading simple traditional musical notation comes easily to Monkey Music children as it is integrated into the final part of our interactive curriculum For more info, contact your local Monkey Music group via our website: www.monkeymusic.co.uk To find a class near you click on following link: http://www.monkeymusic.co.uk/venues.php
