ENGAGING SELF-EXPRESSION THROUGH MUSIC AND PLAY

Did you know that children who are exposed to music and language training show measurable improvements in other cognitive skills? Above all, researchers believe that early music exposure increases the size and power of a child’s brain!

In Funky Monkey Club music classes the children from 3 months to 7 years old dive into a vibrant music bath. Free movement, dance, and fun play through music are being encouraged in this course. The child-friendly, rhythmic pop and rock music, composed solely to this music class, becomes familiar as the weeks go by. It creates a solid framework to the class routines.

The hit songs of all times and a wide range of music genres are also being introduced therefore this music experience is entertaining for the adults as well. And we haven’t forgotten about the classic children songs either!

This concept strengthens the child’s self-confidence allowing free self-expression. The music class advances the language development, hearing memory and the learning abilities. At the same time it encourages children to participate in the class activities based on their own comfort level and invites them to perform and interact with their parents and other kids in the classroom.

Funky Monkey Club’s kids music classes in English work well for both Finnish speaking children who are having their first connection with a foreign language, as well as for the English speaking children who get their mother tongue enforced, through music and play.
