I'm afraid there's no way to set the default view - though it's not a bad idea if you have a particular preference for one view over another! I'll add it to the list of good ideas for new features! :-)
One thing you could do is to create a link directly to the month view from the text in your page. This won't help if people go to it from the menu though, of course.

Just seen this as I was looking for the same. It certainly would be good to mbe able to set the default view to say Month as my list is very long as I have repeating events.
thanks
