MONKEY MUSIC SOUTH WOODFORD, LOUGHTON & BUCKHURST HILL

About

My name is Toni and I run Monkey Music in the local area. I have always had a love of music and I particularly love to sing! I also studied psychology at university which fostered a keen interest in child development. When I had my son, aside from singing to him all the time, I was keen to find a baby music class to enjoy together that would also support his development. I discovered Monkey Music and I was immediately hooked, as was he! I still recall the pure joy of my son’s reaction to new sounds as a baby when he followed them around the room and then the progression to his own pride when making sounds with the instruments. It was a truly special experience. Owning a Monkey Music franchise is my absolute dream role and the reaction on the little ones faces as they hear these incredible new sounds is one of my favourite parts of teaching!

Monkey Music is the perfect balance between fun and learning – the structure creates a familiarity which helps children feel relaxed and at home during the class, but the change in content across the weeks means classes stay fresh and interesting. The original songs are lively and varied and the fact that each of the classes is crammed with lovely activities, dances, props and beautiful percussion instruments means there is so much to experience. The unique four-stage progressive curriculum is age specific and introduces children to all aspects of rhythm, pitch and tempo. We have special percussion instruments, ranging from drums; a firm favourite of the toddlers, to rain makers and wind chimes that totally captivate the babies with their magical sounds. Each child can touch and play with a range of instruments creating their own music. We also use rhymes, puppets and visual and sensory props to ensure each song comes to life. Coming to Monkey Music classes is such a special way to share precious time with your little one as well as helping their development. We hope to see you at a class soon!
