Why choose
us
Choice and creativity
When kids choose an activity, like music, they are more likely to learn and be creative. Melody the Monkey provides a joyful way to explore, express, and develop essential problem-solving skills.
Memory and learning
Music activates multiple areas of the brain, making it a powerful tool for memory and learning. By teaching through music, we create a fun way for children to absorb and retain information more effectively through music.
Academic and life success
Research shows that children involved in music perform better in school and beyond. Early childhood music curriculum strengthens focus, discipline, and collaboration — skills that help them succeed in academics and throughout life.
All parts of development
Music can influence all parts of development: cognitive and intellectual development, social and emotional development (both expressive and interactive), speech and language, fine motor skills, and gross motor skills.
