Diving Deeper

Diving Deeper - Physical Skills

By Taryn Wright - Mini Maestros Niddrie Arcade / Essendon Franchisee

"You are the music while the music lasts" TS Elliot

This is a quote that has always resonated with me. I think we all know that feeling our favourite music elicits. The music takes over and there's that irresistible pull to tap, twirl or dance and a invigorating surge of energy that goes with it. It's a challenge to sit still when music comes on, as is demonstrated so wonderfully when we see babies bopping along to the beat and often perfectly in time.

Your Child's Best Teacher

Who is Your Child's Best Teacher?

By Emma Hart - Mini Maestros Head of Teaching

What is our role as parents and teachers, and how can we help our youngest learners to reach their full potential? Have you ever watched a baby really engage in something new for the first time? There is a great scene in the documentary Babies (2010), where an infant is attempting to stack rings on a stick. It takes total concentration and precise motor skill. The infant makes many attempts, with many failures, but it doesn’t give up. There is very little, to no intervention from an adult. The child has obviously been introduced to the toy and understands what to do, but has been given space to practise it on its own. It proves frustrating and challenging, but the child doesn’t give up, despite repeated failures. The desire to master it and learn is much stronger.

Mother's Day Comp

Mini Maestros Moments

Congratulations to Jonathan and his Mum Mellissa for winning the Mother’s day photo competition. Melissa has had all three of her children go through Mini Maestros and has been attending for over 10 years. Here are a few words from Johnathan.

"Mum always found it amazing how the Mini Maestro teachers could get the kids of all ages involved and make the kids look forward to their music class. My brothers and I loved both our teachers Kathy Perry and Ally Hvalica from Northcote/Ivanhoe and now I attend Doncaster with Lisa Marcolin and I am learning keyboard and guitar!"

We hope you enjoy the Mother's Day hamper we have sent you Melissa, and we hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day.

Kitty has had the pleasure of helping to coach the group of 19 young people, aged 8-17, to prepare them for their very important role in the work.

Travel with Children

Travelling with children can be fantastic! Not just because it's fun family time but because it can also be good for children’s development.
