Zee moved to Australia in 2017, where she graduated from the Dutch Academy of Performing Arts. Music has always been a central part of her life, and her passion for it continues to drive her every day.
With experience as a lead vocalist in various bands in both The Netherlands and Melbourne, Zee has performed in numerous dinner shows and is currently working in the studio on her upcoming music.
In 2022, Zee started teaching at Mini Maestros, driven by her love for sharing the joy of music with little ones. She believes that music plays a crucial role in emotional, social and cognitive development, and that you’re never too young or too old to put on your dancing shoes.
Zee says: ‘The most fun part of working with kids is that each day is a surprise. Whilst we learn about structure, sometimes we go with the flow, embracing the spontaneity and creativity that children bring to the classroom. It’s this joy and unpredictability that makes every lesson unique and exciting. We laugh, listen, and learn as a group. Let’s have a great time making music together!’’
Zee feels honoured to be part of each student’s unique musical journey.
Zee is amazing. Very inviting and engaging! Thank you for helping my little miss love mini maestros.

We love Mini Maestros at Elwood with Zahide (Miss Z)! I take my 15-month-old to three different activities each week—and while they’re all enjoyable, Mini Maestros truly stands out as the best of the three.
Miss Z is talented, engaging, generous with her time and energy, and endlessly patient. She’s not only kind to the kids, but also supportive of the parents. It’s clear she genuinely cares about every tiny human in her class.
MM with Miss Z is great value. My 15-month-old is not only developing music-related skills, but also learning important social habits—like listening to a teacher, being aware of and interacting with other children, and even packing up his own items—which may seem small, but it’s a big win for us!
When we missed one class last term due to illness, Miss Z actively followed up and helped us organise a make-up session. We’ve already re-enrolled for the next term.
