Music & Movement Classes for Children
About my Class
I started Monkey's Melody for three main reasons
-
Having studied and qualified in Childcare and Education, along with obtaining ten years of experience and knowledge in the sector, this gave me the confidence to follow my dreams and start my own business
-
Loving music, singing, dancing and above all nurturing the younger generation was what I enjoyed the most
-
When combining the two I began to see how a child responded to the music, and how safe and confident he/she felt. And in return witnessed the child learn this language at a rapid pace, and with ease, this was astonishing!
"Hester is absolutely wonderful with our little ones at Tiny Toes Play School! The way she grabs their attention and interacts with the children is super creative and so much fun. We are always excited to know that she's coming each week. We just love music with Hester! We highly recommend her"
"Song is a special type of speech.
Lullabies, songs, and rhymes of every culture carry the 'signature' melodies and inflections of a mother tongue, preparing a child's ear, voice, and brain for language'
"Neuro-imaging has shown that music involves more than just centralized hotspots in the brain, occupying large swathes of both sides"
"Teaching songs with actions and encouraging the child to dance along to the music will help to develop balance, coordination, body awareness and rhythm"

Monkeys Melody was the perfect entertainment for my kids 2nd birthday party! Hester is great with the children and they all enjoyed her music very much. I would definitely work with her again, it was all so smooth and fun!
Hester has been teaching music classes in our daycare for the past two plus years to both the toddlers and two year olds. The children all love her and are super excited and eager to start the session when she arrives. She is amazing and structures the sessions in a way that allows the children to learn about instruments and new songs through play, keeping them super engaged and motivated throughout. She always pays attention to ensure the activities are age and stage appropriate. Her glowing warm energy is just a wonderful addition to her professional skills. We hope to continue our journey together for years to come!
