Mini Maestros
Overview
Teacher: Beck Smith
Where the magic of music meets the magic of play, this program is our foundational music program and is suitable for children aged 4-7 years.
The Mini Maestros Music Program offers engaging music sessions for children from older preschoolers through to year 1, fostering the development of essential musical skills & foundational vocal skills in a playful, structured environment.
These skills are so important for children to possess in order to learn an instrument that we provide a class just to do that!
What We Offer
Mini Maestros classes provide opportunities for children to explore:
♪ Singing in tune
♪ Movement and dance
♪ Musical memory and inner hearing
♪ Improvisation and creativity
Children will become familiar with key pre-instrumental musical concepts, including:
♪ Beat and rhythm
♪ Pitch, tempo and dynamics
♪ Timbre and musical structure
♪ Meter & melody
How We Teach
Our classes are based on the Kodály approach to teach children sequential age appropriate musical concepts.
Each lesson combines structured learning with hands on activities, allowing children to learn through games, songs, dance, speech, and rhyme.
Each lesson is carefully designed to build upon the child's prior knowledge while introducing new musical experiences.
Repetition is a core component, helping children gain confidence and reinforce new skills.
Children will explore different percussion based instruments during the course of this program, and learn to use their voices to sing and most of all have fun!
How does my account work?
Your NECOM invoice will be sent out at the commencement of each term for 9 lessons per term.
If you need to withdraw please let our Head of Early Childhood know in writing with 4 weeks notice, otherwise your enrolment will continue from the previous term.
What if I can't attend my class?
We can't offer credits, however we are happy to work with families to provide a catch up lesson where possible in another appropriate class when you advise that you cannot attend.
Any catch up lessons offered will need to be within the same term, and any unused catch up lessons will be forfeited at the end of each term.
If you would like to organise a catch up lesson please email our Head of Early Childhood.

Inclusive and Supportive Environment
We understand that each child is unique.
Children are encouraged to participate at their own pace, joining in when they feel ready.
They are also welcome to observe their peers until they feel confident to engage fully.
Our consistent lesson structure fosters a sense of familiarity and security, creating an ideal setting for learning.
