MONKEY MUSIC at PARADISE PARK

Monkey Music is the award-winning pre-school music group for children aged 3 months – 4 years across the UK and Ireland. We are delighted to announce that it is expanding its classes in Cornwall and from September 2011 will be holding classes in our Jungle Barn on Wednesday mornings.

Monkey Music, which was founded in 1993, aims to introduce music to very young children in a way they can easily understand and enjoy, nurturing a child’s natural love of music so that it will last a lifetime. Specialist teachers, many of whom are professional musicians and parents themselves, gently encourage social and musical skills within a fun, stimulating and friendly environment. Experienced with young children, their classes are carefully structured to encourage learning and freedom of expression, and children are grouped in small classes according to their age.

Unique to Monkey Music is their newest curriculum which has been specially written for babies from 3 months in response to huge demand from parents, who are increasingly aware of the importance of introducing their children to music from as young an age as possible. Called “Rock ‘n’ roll”, each class is themed around the everyday life of a very young child and is a special time in the week for parents and carers to simply stop, look at each other and enjoy the sensory experience of sound together.

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.
