Class and teacher not engaging enough
Lovely teacher but there was too much talking and not enough engagement with the kids. They need consistency and speaking to the kids for long periods of time is not useful as they are still learning to process. Was not what we expected at all. Won't be returning.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, NJ. We’re glad to hear you found the teacher lovely, and we’re sorry the class didn’t feel like the right fit for your family.
At Mini Maestros, our program is carefully structured to support children’s learning, confidence, and understanding through music. Part of this includes short moments where teachers explain or model activities — this helps little ones know what to expect, build listening skills, and feel safe in the flow of the class. Our curriculum is based on 40+ years of research into how young children learn best through music, movement, turn-taking and language-rich interactions. 
We also encourage our teachers to bring their own warmth and personality to each lesson, while still following the same developmental sequence across all Mini Maestros classes. This means no two teachers look exactly the same in delivery, but the learning outcomes and structure remain consistent for children. 
We absolutely understand that every child — and every parent — has different expectations and learning styles. We’re sorry this experience didn’t meet yours, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective with us. Your feedback helps us continue supporting our teachers and refining how we communicate the purpose behind each part of the lesson.
If you’d ever like to chat further or try a different class style or age group, we’d be more than happy to help.
Warm wishes 🎶 🐝💕Mini Maestros
Loved every lesson
We've loved every lesson of Mini maestros with Julia! She's warm, welcoming, remembers everyone's names and brings so many fun songs and instruments to help our children learn a love of music.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Jessica! I have absolutely loved seeing Master R every week - he is one of the happiest babies I have ever met! His smiles light up the room and have brought so much joy to all of us! I hope our classes have been just the beginning of his musical journey. I will be looking forward to seeing you all again! 🎵💞🐝 Julia

Fun, educational and engaging
Tiff is professional, engaging and experienced as an educator. The concepts covered are educational, age relevant and on par to the needs of the child. The activities are fun, inclusive and bring so much joy to both the carer and child as participants! Highly recommended.

Highlight of our week 3 years running!
We have been attending Mini Maestros for almost 3 years now and it's still the highlight of our week! With the help of our fantastic teacher Valerie, our little girl has grown so much in confidence and ability, and now she loves singing and dancing in every spare moment. She is always singing the songs at home or in the car, and it's been amazing to see how much the classes have helped develop her language and vocabulary too! I have made wonderful friends with some of the parents as well, so the sense of community that these classes have brought to our life is very special! Can't wait to see what future classes bring!

Fun for kid and the parents too
Teacher (Shay) is very engaging, my daughter just loves her and the class. The children get to sing, run around and dance, very flexible but they also tend to follow the classes well.

Amazing music time in Altona north
We were so lucky to have Michelle as our music teacher! She is not only incredibly talented and passionate about music, but also amazing with children. She teaches with so much patience, joy, and creativity that every lesson becomes fun and inspiring. My child absolutely loved her classes and learned so much. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, skilled, and dedicated music teacher!

Thank you for your lovely review, wonderful to have “R” in class to help increase her confidence with singing and dancing in the class room environment. Wishing you well, thank you for trekking across town after you moved across to the other side of Melbourne. I look forward to hearing great stories about “R's” pre-school development. 🎶 🐝💕Michelle
very welcoming & engaging
Kate is very inviting & engaging with both the children & adults. The class is varied and well balanced for our age group.
Highly recommend Kate’s classes

This is our second time going to mini maestro’s as our youngest loves music just as much as our oldest. Melissa is an amazing educator and musician. We are so lucky to know her!

Hi Sal, what a beautiful review, thank you so much for taking the time to write it. Yes, Melissa is wonderful isn't she. 🎶 🐝💕Mini Maestros
A lovely little community group
A lovely little community group with a welcoming atmosphere. However, we found ourselves hoping for a bit more energy and engagement during the session. The 30 minutes went by quite quickly, extending it to 45 minutes with a little more interactive fun and connection could really elevate the experience. It’s a great foundation that could be made even better with just a bit more pizzazz.

Hi Sar, Thank you for your feedback and joining us for the trial classes! I'm glad you enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere and community feel.
We keep our sessions at 30 minutes on purpose as we’ve found with experience this length helps little ones stay focused and engaged without feeling overwhelmed and excited for more! But I do really appreciate your thoughts and love hearing how we can make the experience even better, I’ll definitely keep it in mind.
It was such pleasure having you join us, I’d love to see you and your little one return in the future! 💖🐝 Zee
Thank you Kate
Thank you Kate. Mini Maestros is helping my son build confidence and it’s nurturing his love of music. The knowledge you share about listening and giving children space to speak, as well as how to build literacy is also so helpful. We’re really enjoying your classes.

Thank you Sarah for your very kind review. It is actually one of my favourite parts of being a Mini Maestros teacher, watching the little ones grow in confidence. It’s wonderful when they decide what action they want to do in the welcome song by themselves or when they feel they can join in with movement activities on their own- it’s just little things but all helps towards your little one becoming their own amazing confident self. 🎶 🐝💕 Kate
