Second daughter’s experience…and she loves it!
This is my second daughter’s experience at Mini Maestro and she loves it. At only 2, she’s engaging in all activities. It’s structured fun learning about music tailored for each age group! Michelle does a great job working with the children and parents too!

Thanks you for your kind review Emily.
Great to see you coming back with your second child, as you value what our program has to offer. We also strive on helping parents work along side the children in class to ensure you get the most from our activities. This also encourages you to engage on a music level so you can continue the fun learning at home. Looking forward to lots of music making with your family. 🎶 🐝💕 Michelle
Mini Maestros in Templestowe is a must!
Mini Maestros in Templestowe offers an engaging experience led by an experienced and flexible teacher. Her ability to include children in activities regardless of their motivational level is exceptional. We are attending sessions for the fourth consecutive year!

Thanks for your kind review Jim and family! I am so delighted that you have been able to experience the full Mini Maestros program over the 4 years!
It is so important that we meet all the children at their level and motivation on the day they come to music so everyone is included and has a great class.
See you in the 4-5s class! 🎶 🐝💕 Lisa Templestowe/Doncaster
Looking forward to the second time around
Our daughter has been attending Greensborough classes since she was a baby. This year she starts her last year and our son starts his first. We love the welcoming and warm environment. The program encourages skill and knowledge building in a fun and tailored way. We have regularly had our girl apply her learnings from class to other real world situations. We’re proud to say we go to mini maestros!

We’re also so excited to welcome your son as he begins his Mini Maestros journey, after already getting a head start by joining in with his big sister’s classes!
We’re so grateful to have your family as part of the Mini Maestros Greensborough community 💕

Disappointed by the amount of iPhone usage in this class
Kids see enough screens
Hated seeing her on her phone every 3 seconds to play a new song

Reply from Mini Maestros
Hi there, we understand concerns around screen use, and we’d like to clarify how music is delivered in our classes.
Our teachers use a phone or small device purely as an audio player for short sections of recorded music that support specific movement and listening activities. There is no screen time for children, and the device is not shown to them.
Classes always include plenty of live music — teachers sing throughout the session and play guitar or ukulele, with recorded music used intentionally to expose children to a range of musical styles and instruments as part of our structured, educational program.
If you’d like to discuss your experience further, we’d be very happy to do so — please feel free to contact us directly.

The host was rude to my child and I
The host was rude to my child and I - my child was excited by the hosts guitar and wanted to touch it. If the host had put it away out of her reach, she wouldn’t have bothered. Instead, she abruptly said to me “can you take her away?!?” It was rude and quite embarrassing in front of the other parents in the group. My child was around 19-20 months old at the time, of course she’s going to want to explore and investigate new things like musical instruments!
The other issue I had was the age group was too broad - 6 months to 2 years? It’s not very an appropriate. The session was too basic for my child. It’s no wonder she wanted to explore the musical instruments instead - she was bored!

Hi Erin. We are sorry you didn’t enjoy your free ‘Come & Try’ class. We expect that children need a few weeks to settle in to any new activity. Exploring the space and the instruments/ equipment are normal parts of the settling process, however our teachers’ priority is always on child safety. We recommend 3-week trials so that children have time to become familiar with the class activities and build confidence in the group setting. After this time they are more settled. In addition, our teachers carefully observe each child from week to week, noting their developmental stages and needs, and adjusting activities accordingly. 🎶 🐝💕 Mini Maestros

Julia Kaplan is truly one of a kind
Julia is truly one of a kind — a magical, nurturing, and inspiring teacher who brings so much heart into everything she does. From the very first class, it was clear she has an incredible gift for connecting with each child in her care.
She intuitively understands their personalities and adapts her approach so beautifully, making every lesson feel special, joyful, and full of discovery.
Our 3-year-old daughter absolutely lights up around Julia. Her confidence, curiosity, and love for music have flourished in ways we never expected. Julia doesn’t just teach — she cultivates creativity, self-expression, and genuine passion for learning.
We’re constantly amazed by her patience, playfulness, and boundless enthusiasm. She has created an environment where little ones don’t just learn music — they grow, dream, and believe in themselves. Julia has truly been a guiding light in our daughter’s early journey, and we feel endlessly grateful for the care and inspiration she brings every single week.

Dear Ana. I cannot express just how touched I am by your kind words. From the moment I met you and Miss E, I knew that someone special had come into my life. I have loved every moment of watching Miss E grow - both in size and in confidence. This year especially, Miss E’s confidence has been staggering to see. I felt like I was witnessing a beautiful, gentle flower bloom to its enormous potential. I know that all of us in the class felt the same way, and were often in awe of your amazing little girl. From someone who would hardly volunteer a sound in class, to now leading the class in singing to bumblebee, Miss E has brought me and others so much joy. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of being a part of your lives. I hope that music continues to inspire and delight Miss E and your gorgeous family for years to come. 🐝💞🎵
Fun class & fabulous teacher!
My son absolutely adores coming to Mini Maestros. Tim is an amazing teacher - so patient and engaging with the children! He covers a variety of musical mediums to help kids develop their passion for music in a fun and simple way.

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
