About the class:

Monkey Music are award-winning music classes for little ones.

Ding-Dong is our fun yet challenging Stage 4 class for 3 and 4 year olds.  This amazing, advanced class sees further development of a strong musical foundation which prepares your child for a lifetime of music!

In Ding-Dong, our pre-schoolers make friends, take turns and develop creative, language, mathematical and social skills, whilst becoming absorbed in a wonderful musical education.  Your child will develop skills such as reading rhythm notation; composing and performing their own pieces; listening to, recognising and discriminating between the sounds of different families of instruments, and even playing instruments of the orchestra to find out first-hand how they work. It paves the way for a bright musical future and is the perfect preparation to learn to play an instrument of their own later on!

In addition to musical creativity, we encourage exploration of ideas through dance, singing and storytelling in Ding-Dong, with engaging props, images, music, stories and poems to inspire our little ones’ innate imagination.  Pretending is an important area of learning as they explore and express their ideas amongst our fun half-termly topics, whilst social skills such as sharing and listening lead to greater independence and tons of fun with their friends!

When it’s time to play, a variety of exciting instruments provide wonderful opportunities to develop musical and fine motor skills, whilst enabling our little ones to make choices and show their preferences. Playing their instruments helps to instil a certain amount of self-awareness as they learn to respond to instructions and extend their focus and concentration, contributing to their school readiness as they move on to a new and exciting chapter when they eventually leave us.  Every child always has their own individual set of professional instruments (and we use real instruments, not toys!) and all instruments and props are cleaned carefully and thoroughly between classes (and quarantined where necessary) so that you can rest assured that your child is safe to explore them.

Come and have fun with us in your free first class – I can’t wait to meet you!
