We were lucky enough to attended the Jiggety-Jig, Heigh-Ho and Rock’n’Roll classes with Monkey Music.
Paula is a teacher, a musician and a mother and her passion truly
comes through from the moment you step through the magic Monkey Music doors.
Classes take place at the Winchester Racquets and Health Club which
is a lovely venue and Paula makes everyone feel welcome from the start. Each
class starts with a beautiful hello song from Paula and ‘Monkey’ followed by a
wide array of fabulous activities. There were scarves, tambourines, boom pipes,
shakers, parachutes, chimes, ribbons…. It was jam packed with the most
wonderful props for all to enjoy. We particularly liked the gathering drum
which the older ones really loved.
The classes are all filled with wonderfully catchy tunes, sensory
and stimulating visual experiences which are varied and creative. In the older
classes, there is a focus on language development and independence as well as
self-expression is encouraged. It was great to see children working
independently and really getting involved, communicating use music, and
throwing themselves into every single activity.
There were hundreds of smiles from both parents and little ones and
the room was filled with so much warmth and creativity. There were such an
incredible range of activities in each class it was hard to believe that they
only last 30 minutes, it was like being transported to a magical musical land
which no one wanted to leave.
Monkey Music explain that ‘children who attend music class show
improved memory, they smile more, and develop better communication skills’. If
that’s the case, then what better way to start their educational journey than
popping along to a complimentary class and seeing what you think!
So many special memories are made in classes like these and it was
fabulous to have the opportunity to witness some of them today. Send Paula and
email to book your class, and start your musical journey with Monkey Music…..
