Oh thanks so much for your review. Fantastic to see your little one enjoying the classes while growing and learning. I look forward to lots more music making together. 🎶🐝💕 Michelle
Great fun and excellent grounding in musical theory…
My older daughter did Mini Maestros with Haylee then Michelle from age 3 to 5 (some of this was pre recorded lessons through COVID). I cannot commend highly enough the excellent and thorough musical grounding that Mini Maestros gives children.
My older daughter started learning piano a few months after finishing the Mini Maestros program. She picked it up and has progressed very quickly and her piano teacher commented on what a great foundation she had. My younger daughter has now also been doing Mini Maestroes from 2-5 again with Michelle and I can similarly see what a great foundation she is getting in music. In addition the lessons are such fun for everyone! Mini Maestros has been so great for us, thank you very much.

Thank you for your great review. Wonderful that you can see the foundations that have been set and that your older child is thriving at school and enjoying learning the keyboard. I look forward to hearing lots of good musical stories in the future. Looking forward to more music making with your younger child. 🎶🐝💕 Michelle Xx
Inexperienced teacher
Teacher claimed have a child centered approach but her whole teaching was didactic... focusing on delivering the lesson and not trained to integrate each child's interest. My child likes percussion and she refused to let him explore. The teachers should be hired with a background of working with children. Too bad.

Thank you for your review. Mini Maestros is a structured educational program with the focus on learning through play, not a free-play session. To achieve learning outcomes, such as those advocated by the Early Learning Framework, our trained teachers direct the activities and lead the children through the program.
It was a shame that you arrived late for your first class. It is difficult for a child (or even an adult) to walk into a new learning environment when the group is already in the middle of an activity. It is entirely expected that new students need time and space to explore the classroom surroundings in their first few lessons so that they can build familiarity with the learning space and develop confidence in the group setting. Our teachers recognise and allow for this within the structure of the classes. Had you stayed for longer than a few minutes of the lesson, your child would certainly have had the opportunity to play percussion instruments with the other children. Instrumental activities are a key feature of every one of our lessons.
Our teacher at Dingley is one of our most experienced and loved educators. As well as being training in Mini Maestros pedagogy and classroom methodology, she is a trained Suzuki teacher and has been teaching children’s individual and group lessons for many years. She is also a qualified speech pathologist with a particular interest in early intervention. She has a strong following and is the subject of many favourable reviews.
She did leave you a phone message to follow up and give some suggestions for how to help your child settle in his second and third trial lessons, but unfortunately she didn’t hear from you again. 🎶🐝💕 Mini Maestros

We love our Wednesday mornings so much with Kate. Oh and so does our nearly 3 year old!!
Over the past 18 months Remi has learnt so much. Cooperating with others, stepping up and responding individually, and the sheer joy of making music and movement together. We’re so grateful to Kate for her passion and skill and passing it along to our little ones.

Thanks for your kind words Deb and Mary. It’s just wonderful seeing Remi grow in confidence each week. He’s very fortunate to have such supportive and inclusive grandparents to also nurture his creative expression. It is such a joyous class. Looking forward to continuing our musical journey together next term. - Kate 🐝🎼❤️

My granddaughter and I both love going to Mini Maestros! Melissa is a warm, caring leader who makes
all the children feel comfortable, no matter how outgoing or shy they are. It is a wonderful way for young children to learn sharing, listening and exploring music. I have seen all the children's confidence increase as the weeks go by. My granddaughter especially LOVES the stick horses!

I love watching my kids explore sounds using instruments and dancing along with Cathy. Cathy is always happy and helpful. I have twin 1yo's and sometimes it can be hard to manage both of them during activities, but Cathy will always step in and help with one of them, which is really lovely of her
