Review
Tiff certainly has a way with children. She was able to redirect a child from distraction to focusing on the tasks at hand. The activities were fun and varied. Tiff was able to play the guitar and had a good singing voice which the children responded well to.

Tiff was very warm and welcoming and my granddaughter quickly felt at ease and was very happy to join in. Lots of variety without being overwhelming as well as following a familiar routine so the kids get to know what to expect

Tiff has been an absolute angel....
Tiff has been an absolute angel to my twin boys during her classes. From the first time I emailed her about enrolling for her class to the boys getting adjusted to the new environment until now, having lessons online, Tiffy has always welcomed us with open arms and a beautiful singing voice. She's also always happy to carry 1 of the twins during class to give me a little physical relief. She truly loves each and every one of the little children in her class, and has a magical presence in their little minds. Tiff has been extremely accommodating throughout our 3-term journey with her. The boys love seeing her and their faces lit up with joy with both her physical and virtual presence. I hope parents with multiples would consider taking her class.

Thank you for your beautiful words Karren. It has been an absolute joy for me to have you and the boys in my classes. I am very lucky to do what I do and to have the absolute privilege of teaching the children and meeting wonderful families like your everyday. I am so very thankful to be able to continue doing what I love through this very strange world we are all living in at the moment and being able to see you and the boys each week brings joy to me to.
Seeing the boys develop in their love of music and grow with their abilities and personalities has been wonderful. So thank you. 🐝🎶💕 Tiffy X
Classes(in person/ zoom) with Tiffy is my daughter’s favourite music time
My daughter loves her music time with Tiffy! We have attended her class in person for 3 times before lockdown happened and she was so excited in the class.
During lockdowns we will do the online classes together every other day as she really enjoys the singing and music time but she is never as excited as when she sees Tiffy even just on zoom. I’m so glad and appreciate that Tiffy is doing the zoom classes during lockdown as this has always been the highlight of our week! Look forward to more in person classes.

Hi Rosminah. Fantastic! I love that you and your gorgeous daughter are joining me each week and enjoying the classes. Her smiles give it away just a little and totally make me smile in return. So thank you!
Awesome that you are both able to make time to do the online classes too, children learn so much through repetition they are such little sponges. The online classes are a great way to continue the momentum and of course watch and watch again as children at a young age love to do.
Can’t wait to see you both next term. 🐝🎶💕 Tiffy x
Lockdown highlight of the week!
We had one class with the fabulous Tiff before lockdown 6.0 started, at which time we moved over to Zoom for the rest of term. Given my little one was only 10 months, I was unsure about how he would go with a Zoom class, but Tiff put on the most fabulous home entertainment for our baby group and he loved every lesson. To engage little ones through a screen for more than a few minutes takes a special type of person and Tiff really exceeded our expectations. Well done to Mini Maestros for being so flexible and for helping parents out by providing such a lovely personalised music class each week for us to look forward to.

Bianca, I am thrilled you and your little one are loving the classes. I am so lucky to be able to watch you both enjoying the music together.
The focus of the babies in the group has absolutely amazed me. It really does warm my heart to see the smiles on their little faces. Thank you so much for your kind words and on going support. 🐝🎶💕 Tiffy x
We are very happy with our online zoom…
We are very happy with our online zoom experience. I know it is not exactly the same experience as it like in person, however I think the teacher has tried her best in this tough situation to get the classes organized and brought music and joy to our kids.
My little one really enjoys her weekly morning meeting with Tiffy now, and my elder two still love to join the meeting while their little sister had her music lessons. It brought fun to our lockdown life, especially for my little one who has been through lockdown for almost half of her ages…..

Kathy, I am so glad you and your children have been enjoying my Zoom sessions. I have enjoyed seeing you all join in together as a family but extra special as I have now taught them all. It brings me joy to be able to still do what I love most and see the children flourish through what is a difficult time for us all. Thanks so much.

Carefully read the fine print
The classes themselves were fun and engaging, but unfortunately they weren't all that different from other activities we attended (gymbaroo, sensory classes etc). The trouble ensued when COVID hit again causing unforseen closure of classes due to a short lockdown period. We paid in full, having booked an entire term and were given no leeway! How on earth do you think it's appropriate for me to teach/play and interact with a toddler (13mths) whilst watching a pre-recorded class by Tiffiny? How am I or my child getting anything out of it? I might as well have sat him down to watch 30mins of Sesame Street! Further for those that booked in full for the term got NOTHING back?! I understand that such circumstances were unforseen but what is the point of me paying for an entire term when I got no other benefits? Absolute joke! Even when classes were allowed to resume Tiffiny still wanted to do an online class 🤦🏽♀️that was unfair and clearly was a waste of time as I just wrangled my son from escaping and/or trying to wreck the laptop. With all classes we have been a part of we were given makeup classes and were given partial refunds. I understand that this is a small business but (I also have bills to pay) and I think it's shameful that the only option we were given was to watch a bunch of online content. If I had known this I would have avoided booking. Absolute joke! Will not be recommending these classes nor this centre. A royal waste of money.

Thank you for taking the time to tell us of your concerns Sue. In the difficult circumstances the whole community is in we are so grateful that we have been able to get back into the classroom (except for the short lockdown in Victoria in May/June and the complications brought by the restrictions easing but requiring reduced class numbers) and for the overwhelming support of our customers. The most important thing at this time is continuity in the fun and learning for our students and that is why you received our Term 2 Online Course with your enrolment – for each Term this year we are having this in place as a back-up. Our website, enrolment and re-enrolment procedures state up front that every full enrolment in an in-person class during 2021 also receives our Online Course which will take the place of any lesson that is cancelled due to COVID related reasons or a student is unable to attend because of sickness. This is the basis on which you enrolled and we were quite clear about that.
Despite being able to legally open up on the final week of term, the conditions around this meant that I would have had to split all of my 1-2 to classes as their numbers exceeded the maximum student allowance.
The splitting and rescheduling of these and other classes was not possible due to time limitations. So as there was only one week left in the term I decided to Zoom so I could have all students in my classes.
It's important to understand that our Online Classes follow the structure of our in-person classes and are created specifically for parents/carers to do with their child at home. It’s quite different from watching a TV show. Just like in an in-person class, the teacher in the Online Class directs the adults and children how to join in with the dances, play instruments, move in action songs and watch puppet/ prop activities and be active participants in the lessons. Far from passive screen time, the online classes encourage movement and interaction between adult and child. They are designed to provide further enrichment in combination with weekly in-person classes and to continue the term’s learning during a lockdown period.
I encourage you to give the Online Course a try so you can see just how it is specifically designed for you and your child at home.
🎶🐝💕 Tiffiny
Such an enjoyable class
Such an enjoyable class, my little one just absolutely loves it. The great thing is that all the classes are available to watch online so if you miss a class you can watch it at home.

Tiffiny was a fabulous host and we really enjoyed ourselves. The reason we ceased classes apart from constant lock downs was, i went back to work and Little Mr is in care. But it was a great experience, alot of fun and she is very receptive on sms and email. I have only positive things to say about Tiffiny.
The location in Bentleigh is also great as there is onsite parking.
