Fiona is an incredible teacher
Fiona is an incredible teacher. My daughter adores her and finds the class very interactive and educational. We have attended for 2 years and have seen so much growth during that time. I wouldn’t go anywhere else, we couldn’t recommend Fiona at the Malvern class more!!

We feel incredibly lucky to have had the wonderful Fiona as our daughter’s Mini Maestros teacher for over a year now. Her classes are genuinely one of the highlights of our week!
Fiona has such a warm, nurturing and personal approach, taking the time to really know and connect with each of the children in her class. It has been so special to watch our daughter’s confidence, engagement and love of music grow week by week, and we are constantly amazed by how much she is learning along the way.
Fiona creates such a happy, encouraging environment where every little one feels seen and celebrated. We are so grateful to her and couldn’t recommend her classes more highly ☺️

Our first Mini Maestros experience 🎶
We had such a lovely experience at Mini Maestros! 🎶💛 The class was fun, interactive and so engaging for little ones. I loved watching my little one explore the music, instruments, movement and activities while enjoying the whole experience.
The teacher was warm, patient and wonderful with the children, creating such a welcoming environment for both babies and parents. It’s such a beautiful way to introduce little ones to music while also encouraging confidence, social interaction and learning through play.

Michelle is the best teacher
Michelle is the best teacher - so full of energy and able to direct and control a whole group of toddlers. My grandson has loved all of his classes and learnt many basic music concepts. I am very happy with the classes.

Hi M, Thank you so much for your very humbling review :) It’s amazing watching I’s confidence soar every week. Thank you so much for your positive energy and support for our classes, too. I am so glad that you are enjoying the MM program. Can’t wait for our Term 4 fun to begin !! Cheers, Judy🐝🎵❤️😊🎶
Not worth the price
Our teacher was lovely but the classes are in essence extremely expensive play groups with music and singing. You can have that for free at your local library. I was kinda expecting a bit more than that given the price.

Hi Tarra, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, and we're so pleased you found your teacher lovely!
We understand the cost is an important consideration, and we'd love to share a little about what makes Mini Maestros different. While our classes are full of joy, singing and play, there's a great deal happening beneath the surface. Our program has been carefully developed over 40+ years as an age-appropriate, sequential music and movement curriculum, where every song and activity is intentionally designed to support your child's development, from language and motor skills to confidence, listening and social connection. Each week builds on the last, guiding children through carefully planned milestones across the term. It’s not just random music and singing!
The joyful repetition and familiar structure are part of what helps little ones absorb these concepts and thrive, all delivered by trained teachers who understand early childhood development deeply.
We'd genuinely love the chance to show you more of what's unfolding for your child each week. Please feel free to reach out to us at hello@minimaestros.com.au — we're always happy to chat. Thank you again for giving us a try! 🎶 🐝💕 Mini Maestros
We absolutely love Mini Maestros
We absolutely love Mini Maestros! We go to the sessions with Julia, and it is honestly the highlight of our week. My 1-year-old son’s face lights up as soon as we arrive, and he spends the entire session smiling, laughing and joining in.
Julia is amazing with the children and creates such a fun, welcoming environment. My son has learned so many wonderful skills through the classes, including packing up after activities — and we’ve even noticed him transferring this skill at home!
We look forward to Mini Maestros every week and couldn’t recommend it highly enough! 💙🎶

Thank you so much for your kind words Brooke! I think you already know how much I adore Master C. His joy in our classes is infectious, and seeing his smiles and clapping is something I look forward to every week! Music really speaks to him.
Our Mini Maestros program is so adept at teaching useful transferable skills from an early age! It’s the icing on the foundation that we lay for a life long love of music. I can’t wait for more fun classes together! Julia 💞🎵🐝
My son’s favourite part of the week
My son’s favourite part of the week! Jennie is amazing. My son loves coming to the classes each week and that is testament to the welcoming social environment created by Jennie, which enables all babies to feel safe to be curious and engaged whilst learning new skills and enhancing a love of music and movement. As a mum I have loved connecting with other mums and caregivers. The space is always beautifully clean and not overwhelming like a lot of other classes we have tried.

Thank you so much for this beautiful review, Emily! It warms our hearts to know Mini Maestros is your son's favourite part of the week. Jennie was delighted to hear this! Creating a welcoming, calm space where little ones feel safe to be curious and engaged is exactly what we hope for, so it means the world to know your son is thriving and building a love of music and movement along the way. And we're so glad you've found connection with other mums and caregivers too — that sense of community is such a special part of the journey. Thank you for being part of the Mini Maestros family! 🎶 🐝💕 Mini Maestros

Amazing program and teacher
Michelle is an amazing teacher. She has encouraged us to trial and keep attending as my daughter does require a bit of time to settle, but once she has settled she participates well. At times, she was able to make my daughter feel comfortable enough to answer questions, use instruments and detach from me. I also love that her program teaches music as well as counting, etc. We definitely recommend the program for anyone who's child learns through echolalia, loves music and instruments.

Thank you for your kind review. Happy to see that you appreciate our classes incorporate lots of different learnings in class. The music is just the icing on top. Looking forward to lots of music making in Term 4. 🎶 🐝💕 Michelle
We love mini maestros
Julia Kaplan at Mini Maestros is absolutely amazing! My 2-year-old daughter has been attending Julia’s classes for the past five weeks and is completely obsessed. She looks forward to every class and has developed such a love for music.
What makes this even more special is that my son attended Julia’s classes from the age of two until he was four, and to this day he still talks about Julia! That really says so much about the impact she has on children.
Julia has such a wonderful way of connecting with little ones and creating an environment where they feel engaged, confident and excited to learn. She has had such a positive and lasting influence on both of my children, and I genuinely couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She is an incredible music teacher and clearly has a real gift for working with children.
I would give her eleventy hundred stars out of five if we could

They are both such good humans - full of kindness and curiosity, and such an absolute joy to have in our classes. Not a day goes by when I don’t count myself lucky to be able to share the wonder of music with little ones. Our Mini Maestros program allows all children to grow in confidence, develop a love for music, and make life long friends. Thank you for allowing me to watch your beautiful kids grow - I don’t take this privilege for granted! Looking forward to many more adorable moment with Miss I in class! Julia 💞🐝🎵

The lady was lovely but I felt that it was not worth the cost. Considering the theme for the week I attended was "music phrases", it was the same as the prior week. Id honestly say that story time at the library includes most of the same stuff but is free

Hi Jen, thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback, and we're so glad you found our teacher lovely!
We completely understand how the classes can feel similar from week to week, so we'd love to share a little about what's happening beneath the surface. Repetition is actually one of the most powerful tools in early childhood learning. Young children thrive on the familiar — hearing the same songs and revisiting the same activities is how they build confidence, anticipate what's coming next, master new skills, and truly absorb musical and developmental concepts. What can look like "the same thing" to us is often a child deepening their understanding and joyfully mastering something they're just beginning to grasp.
We also highlight particular milestones in each lesson so that families are made aware of the concepts and skills we are working on throughout the term. The highlighted milestone for one week might be musical phrasing in terms of how children respond to 'musical sentences' in peekaboo activities, dances and instrumental activities. Every class covers a wide range of musical, cognitive outcomes for children through activities that involve singing, moving, playing instruments, watching, listening and working together.
We'd genuinely love the chance to help you see more of what's unfolding for your little one each week. Please feel free to reach out to us at hello@minimaestros.com.au — we're always happy to chat. Thank you again for giving us a try! 🎶 🐝💕 Mini Maestros
