Dear Laura, Thank-you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. It is so wonderful to see the children learning new skills each term and make connections with other children and families. 🎶 🐝💕 Kylie
Session length is too short
Hi there, the training is good, however, session's length is really short, most sessions are actually held for about 20 minutes as to gather everyone or say good bye, take quite time.
Sessions are needed to be 45 minutes so at least there is half an hour of useful time for kids to worth the cost.
Thank you.

Hi Bb, Thank you for taking the time to review Mini Maestros and for your positive feedback about our training quality.
We'd like to explain our approach to session length, which is based on 40 years of expertise in preschool education. Our current session duration is specifically designed for optimal learning outcomes for young children. Research in early childhood development shows that preschoolers have shorter attention spans and learn most effectively through focused, age-appropriate timeframes rather than extended sessions.
The gathering and goodbye times you mentioned are actually valuable learning components – especially in the first 3 weeks of term. They help children develop social skills, routine recognition, and transitional abilities that are crucial for their overall development. These moments aren't "lost time" but rather intentional educational opportunities.
We've found through four decades of experience that longer sessions can lead to overstimulation and decreased engagement in young learners. Children need repetition and consistency within appropriately timed activities to truly absorb and retain musical concepts. Our current format maximises their attention and participation while ensuring they leave each session feeling successful and eager to return.
Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing Mini Maestros. 🎶 🐝💕

Michelle is amazing and interactive with all children, my son looks forward to going every week. As we know kids sleep can be very up and down, Michelle is happy and flexible for you to pop in other days that work out better.
We love the elements of music as well educational development incorporated in the program.
If you need something to do with your child highly recommend mini maestros, in particular the Altona north location.

It’s wonderful that you can to see the educational side of our program, we thrive in tailoring our program to suit ages and developments and yet whilst you are enrolled in a particular class we like to be flexible as possible as we understand the juggles required as a parent to keep up with your child’s developmental changes including sleep patterns. Looking forward to lots more music making with you both. 🎶 🐝💕 Michelle

Budding musician
Valerie, the teacher, is very engaging and interactive with the children. My grand daughter loves to sing the songs, play the instruments and dance. She is very happy and comfortable being there and looks forward and is excited to go to mini maestros each week.
I highly recommend MiniMaestros as an introductory to music and musical instruments and also where the children feel safe to mix and interact with other children.

My grandson has really come out of his shell since attending classes with Kate. It is pleasing to note that each exercise has a purpose for the children’s development. It is great bonding time and I hope it continues.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review.
It truly is one of the best parts of my job seeing the children gain in confidence and watch them explore and experiment with the instruments. It also brings a huge smile to my face when I see grandparents bonding with their grandchildren ☺️ 🎶 🐝💕

Son now Grandson!
Kylie is the most wonderful teacher. I first met her 26 years ago when I took my eldest son to her class. He is now 29 and I'm taking his son to her class!!!!
Music is so important for children and starting them in this program is amazing.
