For Young Musicians
Introduce your child to a series of music workshops
that will explore all facets of music development through active
participation. Children will be given the opportunity to explore
instruments from around the world, sing songs in different languages
and engage in musical drama while building basic concepts and
skills in language, math and social interaction. Monkey Business
provides music instruction on an ongoing basis or as a one time
only performance situation.
The Hands on Multi Cultural Music Workshop
which the business has been built on, centres on exposing children
to instruments from around the world giving them an opportunity
to develop a greater understanding of the world around them.
Children are given the opportunity to play these instruments
and are provided with positive reinforcement to build self esteem,
no matter what their level of performance or comprehension.

Computer Workshop
The computer workshop is designed
to deliver one on one computer instruction to children of
all ages in a class room setting. This workshop will enhance
all areas of the child's development and gives the teacher(s)
in the room an opportunity to concentrate on other responsibilities
while each child receives undivided attention to ensure correct
skills and knowledge are attained. State of the art technology/hardware
is brought into the classroom, along with relevant and appropriate
software titles.
