Bringing the joy of music and movement to babies and toddlers in local communities across Berkshire.
Ten weeks of FREE music classes for children aged 0–3 years, led by professional musicians in 10 local areas across Berkshire. Mini Maestros will bring quality music-making to your local community and nurture a love of music for life. Children and their grown-ups will experience singing fun action songs, playing inspiring percussion instruments and also moving with colourful scarves. Help make this magical opportunity a reality in your local community and make a difference for local families. Two specialist classes: Baby Beats (0-12months) and Family Beats (1-3yrs), will be available at each venue.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
The early years of life are a crucial time for development and are ideal for introducing quality musical experiences. Music has the power to reach across the boundaries of age and culture, touching each of us and strengthening family and community bonds. Relaxed, friendly classes led by professional musicians who play real instruments – and it is FREE for 10 weeks so we can reach families who may not normally access this kind of opportunity. Mini Maestros offer exciting, engaging and well-paced sessions, using a wide range of inspiring resources and real instruments. Babies and toddlers love gentle bouncing, rocking, swinging in the air, exploring instrumental sounds, playing peek-a-boo, and moving to the beat. Nourish and strengthen the bond with your little one. Come and make friends and learn some lovely new songs and games to use at home!

Once again, a huge thank you to you ALL of you for backing our project! Here is a video we have put together to showcase the fantastic work our teachers have been putting in to run these new classes all over Berkshire. The good news is that 8 out of 10 locations will continue next term and we can't wait to welcome lots of existing and new babies/toddlers along to our community classes!
The start of a very exciting week for the Early Years Team at Berkshire Maestros! This morning we met lots of babies and toddlers in Lambourn and Cookham Dean attending our first term of ‘Mini Maestros in the Community’ and we couldn’t be happier! Thank you to you all for helping to make this happen! We will bring you more updates during the week so you can see the impact your generous pledges have had!
