Monkey Music offer engaging fun music and sensory classes from 3 months to 4 years with an amazing progressive curricula taught by professional musicians. 

Classes run into the Summer Holidays and there are also specially themed Summer Workshops in August.

Everyone can book a FREE TASTER CLASS to see why it has been voted the nation’s preferred pre-school music class.

Monkey Music is passionate at introducing music to little ones right from the start. Babies enrol to absorb the magical sounds and sensory activities, whilst as they progress children learn to read music and learn all about orchestral instruments. Above all, children’s social, motor, speech and language development is supported through the multi-award winning classes that become the highlight of their week. Parents love how their child’s confidence is also boosted and everybody loves making new friends with like-minded people.

Rock ‘n’ Roll – The adventure starts with ‘Rock ‘n Roll’ classes for children from aged 3 months. Babies are very receptive to musical learning, able to remember musical sequences and detect changes in pitch, melody and rhythm. We build on those abilities while using bonding and sensory techniques to strengthen the relationship between baby and carer.

Heigh-Ho – From 12 months toddlers join ‘Heigh-Ho’ where Monkey Music tunes get parents and children dancing and catchy songs help with language development.

Jiggety-Jig – The musical journey continues for 2 & 3 year olds in ‘Jiggety-Jig’ as teachers help parents and toddlers explore rhythm and pitch. At this age children are excited to get to know one another and monkey’s playful songs and activities develop both social skills and imagination.

Ding-Dong – By age 3 or 4 our children have a foundation in rhythm, pitch, tempo and melody and in ‘Ding-Dong’ they learn to read music. The moment they make the connection between the music they hear and read is a huge milestone, similarly when they volunteer to sing solos and lead the Monkey Music band!

 

Monkey Music is currently running classes in Winton, Wimborne, Parkstone, Southbourne Christchurch and Poole check out the timetable here.

Little Leaps Sensory & Sign was founded in 2022 to bring a fun baby sign language class to the South Coast, which incorporates learning British Sign Language and having unique and memorable sensory experiences.

There are many benefits to learning baby sign language for both parent/carer and child. Not only is it a great bonding experience, but it also allows your baby to communicate with you before they can talk. This will reduce frustrations for your baby and for you.
Research has also shown that learning baby sign language improves speech and language development. Babies can start signing back anywhere from 8 months onwards, but it is great to expose them at a younger age as they will start to understand the meanings of signs even earlier.

At Little Leaps Sensory & Sign we believe that learning baby sign language should be an enjoyable and rewarding experience for all. Each session is based on a new theme, making each week new and exciting and each course is 5-7 weeks long, depending on the term.

We can’t wait to give you and your little one a warm welcome to the Little Leaps family soon! 💜🧡

Our current Locations are:

Friday – Tesco Tower Park’s Community Room BH12 4NY

9.45am – Pre-crawling/Crawling babies
11am – Crawling/Walking babies/toddlers

Monday – The Malthouse (Brewhouse & Kitchen Function Room Southbourne) BH5 2BW
