The story of Mini Mozarts
Founded in 2022, Mini Mozarts celebrated 3 years in business in October 2025 with a new face at the helm.
How it started
Mini Mozarts was founded and created by Catherine Henderson - a music teacher and mummy of 3!
Catherine has taught for almost 20 years since graduating from Bangor University with an honours degree in Music and Liverpool Hope with a PGCE in Music teaching. She has held positions as Head of Music in England and Wales and since becoming a mummy, worked both privately and for the county music service, Denbighshire Music Co-operative. Catherine has recently returned to the Secondary teaching classroom and handed over the reigns to Abby. So a new era of Mini Mozarts North Wales begins...
With over 10 years experience in drama and theatre education for school age children and having attended countless baby classes as a parent, Abby took over the business officially in December 2025 and as of January 2026, Mini Mozarts North Wales became the EYFS arm of North Wales Academy of Music & Drama - meaning Abby is now able to offer arts education to children and young people of all ages - with classes and private coaching open to newborns right up to 18.
Abby has a BA (hons) and MA in Music Theatre, having studied at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, and brings her theatrical background to classes with brand new themes, fun for all the family and exciting plans for the future.

I am so proud of Mini Mozarts. Music is fun AND educational and I really do want to share this with the world.
Music is instinctive - we can respond to it from birth. Music crosses language barriers, builds emotional intelligence and is an integral part of every significant moment in our life. Music never takes, it only ADDS to our lives.
I am humbled by the support shown to me by parents and professionals since I set up Mini Mozarts - it means a lot when a mum tells me how much their child loves class, when I receive videos and photos of them practising at home and when I'm asked to visit educational settings.
Most of all, I am honoured to share this precious time with you and your little ones - I hope you always look back and treasure the moments and memories created in class as well as the experiences and things you learned together.
