"As a kindergarten teacher, and parent, I have been impressed with the warmth and respect Ainslie has shown all of her students. By creating a nurturing environment my children have taken steps to enhance their musical skills and in doing so I have watched them grow in confidence. Our lives have been enriched by the Little Stars syllabus and I take pure delight in observing their spontaneous singing, dancing or playing out what they've learnt. Many thanks"
"Ainslie is an enthusiatic, inspiring teacher committed to Suzuki philosophy. Her enthusiasm spreads like wildfire through the children who learn so much more than music in her classes. Ainslie has guided my eldest through 2 years of Early Music Education and both of my children continue to love learning through Little Stars. Her work with the children is truly magical”
“Ainslie, your music classes are amazing. Your passion for what you do makes them so much fun for not just the kids but us mummies, too. Ashlee gets so excited when we arrive each week. From that very first time she loved it and loved you. Going straight up to sit on your lap shows how comfortable you made her feel. She even came straight home and started playing with her tamborine and xylophone. Each week I watch how all the kids open up and grow more and more. Thank you for running such awesome classes.”
“We LOVE our weekly music classes with Gen. She is so calm with the children and knows exactly how to meet their needs. I especially love how she encourages my quiet child to participate at her own pace. Gen is gentle and makes everyone feel safe and secure so they will try new ideas and take risks in class. Thank you for such lovely sessions!”

From our first session I could see that my usually quiet child made a connection with you. I appreciate the fact you don’t push children, but meet them where they’re at and gently encourage them. Thank you for guiding us to develop skills like listening, taking turns, passing on instruments, performing and being a polite audience member. So many of these skills are important for school!! We LOVE your story times and the way you manage to sing lots of stories for us. My child is so much more confident as a result of classes. I wish I’d know about you when my first child was little!
