For parents, they have access to experts covering the complexities of family law and managing family finances to dealing with nutrition, handling toddler meltdowns to giving parents some downtime with a mindful breathwork and yoga class. The programme is delivered via a mix of webinars and pre-bookable 1-1s so that participants have the option to speak to experts in private.”
“Running alongside the programme for parents, we have a series for pre-school children. We’re really keen that our pupils don’t forget their learning over the long holidays, but we know that family routines go out the window over the summer. Our live interactive classes mean that families can recreate the Mini Mozart experience from their grandparents’ garden, villa terrace, or wherever they’re spending the summer. If they can’t make the live sessions then there are dozens of recorded sessions that they can watch any time.”

About Mini Mozart
Established in 2005, Mini Mozart offers over 100 live orchestral music classes per week for babies and toddlers across 50 venues in London, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Surrey. At Mini Mozart children engage with orchestral music played by professional musicians (all music graduates) in a way that is impossible with recorded music. The classes are not designed to be static ‘baby friendly’ concerts or recitals, the children are encouraged to pluck, press, blow, scrape, bang whatever instrument is on offer. Each class features two or more live orchestral instruments with a piano accompanist. If a child completes the Mini Mozart course from baby to the start of school (reception) then they will have interacted with almost every orchestral instrument.
Mini Mozart prides itself on getting the children school ready. Besides the musicality and rhythm skills, children gain transferable skills including fine motor, language and social skills plus qualities such as confidence, curiosity, discipline and respect.
The company also provides entertainment for birthday parties or other celebrations and in nurseries by using music to support the EYFS Statutory Framework. Aside from in person sessions, Mini Mozart offers online classes which are available on-demand for £5 a month.
To help to make classical music available to all, the company offers a bursary scheme. Mini Mozart invites applications from families in receipt of Universal Credit or similar. The scheme offers selected children an 80% discount at their local class. Currently, Mini Mozart is seeking local businesses to sponsor families to give them the opportunity to enjoy the Mini Mozart experience.
About Clare-Louise Shaw, Founder, Mini Mozart
Mini Mozart was created by Clare-Louise Shaw in 2005 and is the culmination of over 20 years of experience combining musicianship, presenting and parenting.
After gaining a music scholarship at Uppingham School and a music degree from Newcastle University, Clare joined BBC Music. There she worked with all of her heroes at the BBC Symphony Orchestra and The Proms winding up as a TV presenter for programmes like BBC Young Musician of the Year and The Proms.
In 2005, whilst on maternity leave, Clare decided to pursue a new venture. She already had a love of working with children and music having previously been a singer at Disneyland Paris. Her lightbulb moment came when she saw how much her son loved it when she played the violin, clarinet and piano to him. Without delay, she got her anti-natal group and her instruments together with a piano accompanist. And just like that, Mini Mozart was born. Through Mini Mozart, Clare has been able to combine her true passions of music, children and communication.
Clare is a graduate of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses UK programme in conjunction with the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. As an owner and leader of a small business, Clare has been instrumental in creating jobs, economic and educational opportunities to the communities that she serves.
