About Mini Maestros
Mini Maestros offers fun, active and educational music classes for babies to 5 year. We are Australia’s leading music education program for pre-schoolers. By combining music and joyful discovery we encourage confident and happy learners.
All our music classes enhance children's development while they are having fun. Singing, dancing, playing percussion instruments and musical games stimulate the children's creativity and imagination. Our carefully planned and sequential program introduces the child to musical concepts such as beat, rhythm, dynamics, form and notation, and develops the whole child by encouraging children's speech development, listening skills, social skills and physical skills.
The Mini Maestros Story
Mini Maestros was founded by Jenny Fogarty (12/3/1950-12/4/2007), a dearly loved and well respected early childhood music education specialist. Jenny passionately believed that music and learning through play were critical tools for childhood growth and development. She worked tirelessly to ensure that as many young Australian children as possible were able to experience the benefits of pre-school music education. Jenny's legacy and dreams live on through every Mini Maestros class and are carried by the thousands of children who participate in the program each year. READ MORE.
