The day is here - charity single from monkey music

Monkey Music are releasing a charity single for Nordoff Robbins and
celebrating our forthcoming summer of sport. All monkey music groups
across the UK are involved and the pre school children will be learning
it.


The Day is Here Little Monkeys Sing for Charity




Monkey Music the UK’s premium music group for pre-school children
has
recorded a special charity song to celebrate an amazing summer of sport.
Performed by young children, aged 7, 8 and 9, and written especially for
Monkey Music, the Anthem, 'The Day is Here!', tells the exciting story
of
a running race.


‘The Day is Here’ will not only provide a fun sporting interlude during
Monkey Music classes across the UK but also, by selling it online to the
families and friends of Monkey Music’s 10,000 children, Monkey Music
also
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, said;


“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 believe 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.”


What’s next?


Monkey Music classes will learn ‘The Day is Here’ during their Monkey
Music classes over the coming weeks. Then, from the end of May the ‘The
Day is Here’ will be officially released and available to buy online
with
all profits going to charity.
