Mini Maestros offers fun and educational music classes for children, including babies, toddlers and preschoolers, aged 6 months to 5 years of age. Classes are available throughout Melbourne as well as Geelong, Brisbane, Hamilton Island and the Sunshine Coast.
The Mini Maestros music programme will help children to foster an appreciation of music to last a lifetime. The music classes enhance children's development while they are having fun. Singing, dancing,playing percussion instruments and musical games stimulate the children's creativity and imagination.
Mini Maestros offers an Australian music programme which has been developed over 25 years by childhood education experts. Most of the music used in the classes has been written by Australian composers. The music literacy component of the programme is based on the world renowned Kodaly methodology and repertoire. The influences of the theories of Orff, Dalcroze and Suzuki are also evident.
Mini Maestros is a wholly Australian owned company. It is a franchised business, so in most cases, the teacher holding the class will actually be a business owner. All of our teachers and business owners have a genuine passion for music and childhood development. They help to create a safe and nurturing environment to help your child learn.
Mini Maestros aims to have no more than 10 children in each class so that every child receives individual attention.
The program is sequential. Our babies classes are primarily aimed at building an appreciation for music, and help to give the primary care giver confidence to share music with the child. Our toddler classes start to build the child's knowledge of music, and our classes for preschoolers provide a familiarity with musical terms, and help children to learn how to read basic music elements.
Our teachers are enthusiastic and friendly people, who have a passion for music and a desire to foster musical development in young children. Our teachers come from a variety of backgrounds, including early childhood specialists, music specialists who have worked in schools, classically trained musicians, music theatre performers and those who simply have a passion for sharing music with young children.
Musical ability, a love of children, dramatic skills and a nurturing spirit are the primary qualities of all of our teachers.
