What Happens in a Monkey Rock Music Class?

Monkey Rock Music classes are built around live, participatory music that encourages children to explore rhythm, movement, and sound — all alongside their caregivers.

Here’s how a typical class works:

Live Music With Real Instruments

Designed for Different Ages

Singing, Dancing, and Moving Together

Familiar Songs and New Material

Parent-Child Bonding

Every class is led with guitar — no prerecorded music — plus percussion instruments for kids and grown-ups to enjoy.

Class structure and activities vary by age group (babies <1, toddlers 1–2, kids 2–preschool age) so little ones stay engaged and supported.

Expect interactive songs, actions, rhythm games, dancing and movement that get everyone participating.

Children thrive on repetition; parents appreciate the fresh material introduced over time.

You’re involved in every activity — making it a shared experience your toddler will love.
