About
‘The Day is Here!’
Monkey
Music, the UK’s premium music
group for pre-school children, originally recorded ‘The Day is Here!’ –
which tells the story of a race – with children aged 7, 8 and 9 but, across the
country, far younger children (including babies from as young as 3 months old)
are now joining in, at Monkey Music classes, at school and at home.
Angie
Coates, Founder of Monkey Music explains;
“We
recorded ‘The Day is Here!’ as a single to support Nordoff Robbins so in the
run up we asked all our Monkey Music classes to learn it. The response has been
amazing, not only have our 10,000 Monkey Music children joined in, their
parents, families, friends – and now even Simon Pegg! – are helping to promote
the song and the great cause!”
By
selling the ‘The Day is Here’ online and giving ALL proceeds to charity, Monkey
Music aims to raise much needed funds for music therapy charity, Nordoff
Robbins.
Nordoff
Robbins is a national specialist music charity, delivering 50,000 music therapy
sessions a year to a broad range of people in schools, hospitals and care homes
across the UK. Their qualified music therapists specifically help people with a
range of challenges including autism, dementia, mental health problems, stroke,
brain injury, learning difficulties, depression and in some cases clients have
threatening or terminal illness, such as cancer.
Angie
Coates, Founder of Monkey Music, continues;
“Both
Monkey Music and Nordoff Robbins offer children fresh opportunities and life
changing experiences through music. We believe that by working together we can
raise awareness of the benefits of music for everyone. It’s lovely to use 2012
and the summer of sport to engage the very youngest of children in the
excitement of sport and the joy of music.”
Jo
Carter, Director of Fundraising & Communications Nordoff Robbins said:
“We are
delighted to be working with Monkey Music, to be sharing our mutual belief in
the power of music and to help raise funds to continue transforming the lives
of vulnerable children and adults across the UK. As a charity we rely entirely
on voluntary donations, so the Monkey Music song released this summer is a
great way to raise funds and awareness.”
