Owning a Mini Maestros Franchise is a great opportunity for individuals to run their own business in their local area. There are franchises operating all over Melbourne servicing both private groups and childcare centres. There are additional franchise opportunities currently available in Melbourne, regional Victoria and interstate.
Private classes are usually run in the morning, leaving the afternoon for administrative tasks. Franchisees have the full support from our dedicated team at Head Office and they are encouraged to exchange ideas at regular franchisee meetings.
Our Programme
The Mini Maestros programme has been developed as a unique Australian product over 25 years by leading early childhood music education experts. It introduces children to the elements of music in a structured, sequential manner while still remaining fun and engaging for students. The repertoire comprises traditional songs and rhymes, Australian compositions and music with multi-cultural influences. Children participate in a carefully planned program, which allows musical concepts such as beat, rhythm, dynamics, form and notation to be practised and recognised.
What makes Mini Maestros unique?
We are an all-Australian company, owned by Australians and most importantly all the music, apart from some traditional pieces, is composed by Australians. The programme is fundamentally, rather than incidentally, educational, but the focus is firmly on the 'fun' aspect - for children, parents, carers, and teachers alike. It is holistic by nature in that it helps develop the whole child. In short there is no other music programme like it!
