I love Mini Maestros because...
“I sing, dance & have fun all day”

Franchises

Owning a Mini Maestros Franchise is a great opportunity for individuals to run their own business in their local area using tried and true methods and materials, and leveraging off one of the best names in early childhood music education. We currently have franchises operating in four Australian States, in capital cities and regional areas. Additional franchise opportunities exist throughout Australia.

Our Program

The Mini Maestros program used by all Mini Maestros franchisees 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 Australian business, and importantly all the music, apart from some traditional pieces, is composed by Australians.
  • The program 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 program like it!
  • Mini Maestros franchisees are enthusiastic and talented early childhood educators, well trained and supported to ensure they offer a consistent and high quality product.
