The first official Spring season of Funky Monkey Club is almost over. Time flies when you’re having fun! In April we were at the Child Fair (Lapsimessut) in Helsinki, and in May we sang and played at Espoo Family Event. New winds are blowing – We’ll start the music classes in English in the Fall 2018 and the English version of the Funky Monkey Club website is now up. How exciting! Read more about the latest FMC news in this blog post.
MUSIC CLASSES IN ENGLISH FOR KIDS IN THE FALL 2018
This is something that people have been asking from us, and something that we have been planning to do for quite some time. So yes, music classes in English for babies, toddlers and kids up to 4 years old, are starting in the fall of 2018 and we are very excited about this! These classes will work for the native English speakers as well as for the Finns and other nationalities who get to taste the foreign language through music and play.
Funky Monkey Club hit tunes will still be the framework for all the fun activities, we travel to fascinating music genres, and naturally we sing classic children songs in every class.
The Fall 2018 classes are open for signing up and our website is now having its English version as well. As a new location we will have Tapiola, Espoo and we continue our program at Sähinä, Lauttasaari and Mommy&Me, Kulosaari. We also have classes available in Lohja. Look at our more detailed class schedule and locations here!
DEBUT APPEARANCE AT THE CHILD FAIR IN HELSINKI
As the new kids music class company we were fortunate to take part in the Child Fair (Lapsimessut) with a very short notice. This year our representation was culminated in two 20 minute performances at the Vekarat Stage. One on Friday morning and the other on Saturday afternoon. We got a nice group of kids jamming us on stage and people on the designated seats seemed to be enjoying themselves and clapping along.
Next year we’ll see if we have our own department and have a chance to sing and play to the kids and their parents for the whole fair weekend.
FAMILY EVENT AT ESPORT ARENA
On May 12th we participated in a lovely Family Event HUPS in Tapiola, at Esport Arena organized by Suomen Liikuttava. We performed and played with kids for 5 hours almost non-stop. There was a lot of monkey jumping, playing with miniature xylophones and shakers, singing to the microphone and lion hunting among many other things. Fun times!
