My name is Lisa Irwin
I founded Music Monkeys in November 2012. We offer fun structured music and movement classes throughout Abu Dhabi. A mum of four boys, a primary teacher from England with nursery teaching experience. At Music Monkeys we are passionate about introducing Music as early as possible and understand the value, importance and impact it can have on a child.
Music contributes to what experts call a “rich sensory environment”. Music or sound is just one of the wide experiences that can forge pathways between cells in their brains (others are taste, smell, texture & colour). This can stimulate the brain which will aid with other area’s of learning. Exposing babies to music at a very young age (even in the womb) can make these connections however the biggest impact is when the baby or child is actively participating in musical activities.
At Music Monkeys we don’t just sing along to a CD we encourage Mums, Dads, Grans, Nannies to engage with their child and sing along with the teacher, this ensures our monkeys are getting the most out of their classes.
We cater for children from 3 months to 4 years with age-specific groups tailored for their development.
Classes are now running in various locations around Abu Dhabi
In our Baby Monkeys (3 months plus) we encourage you to bond with your baby using songs and rhymes such as ‘Rock the baby’ and chiffon scarfs to play ‘Peekaboo!’ along with age-appropriate props to stimulate fine and gross motor skills.
Our Mini Monkeys (walking to 2 years) are introduced to a wider selection of instruments and styles of music. They love catching bubbles and hiding under the parachute! As all the babies in this group are walking, they are becoming independent and can choose to dance, stomp, jump or roll!
In our Jumping Monkeys (2 years plus) children are encouraged to engage with action and counting songs such as ‘Head, shoulders, knees and toes’ & ‘Five Little Monkeys’. As teachers, we use lots of props that encourage the development of gross and fine motor skills. We also encourage the children to begin to collect, play and return any instruments…stamps really help!

Me and my son absolutely love coming to Music Monkeys, the group is wonderful. I love all the different themes and how everyone gets involved. Wednesday is one of mine and my son’s favourite days thanks to this class. I also like that we can use the soft play afterwards as part of the fee
We had an amazing 3 terms at Music Monkeys!
Sophia’s warmth and energy create a lively and engaging atmosphere that my daughter (and I) eagerly looked forward to every Friday. The class improved Sophie’s rhythm, coordination and confidance, while also creating new friendships and a love for music! I loved watching her learn how to express herself through music and songs.
Class instructor Sophia’s passion and dedication shine through every session, making learning fun and enriching. I would highly recommend Music Monkeys for any parent seeking a joyful and educational musical experience for their child. Thank you, Sophia, for the amazing impact you’ve had on Sophie!
I want to express my heartfelt thanks fo Laura at Music Monkeys for hosting such a wonderful and fun class for my little Maitha. Laura is an outstanding instructor and her enthusiasm shines through in every session. My baby had an amazing time engaging with the music and I could see how muych joy the class brought to all the little ones.
Laura’s ability to create a lively and positive environments is truly impressive. She engages the babies in a way that’s both stimulating and nurturing, with each session filled with songs, activities and movement that captivate their attention. Her energy is infectious and it’s clear that she genuinely enjoys connecting with the children and fostering their love for music. The structure of the class strikes a perfect balance between fun and learning, encouraging motor skjills, listenning and interaction.
