Congratulations to our MIM graduates who obtained their LCME-MIM Certifcates at the Certificate Presentation on 19 November 2011. They obtained their certifcates from Prof John Howard, Director of Examinations, London College of Music Examinations. There were plenty of smiles and cheers as the children went on stage to receive their certifcates from Prof John Howard. All the LCME-MIM certificates are awarded by Univeristy of West London. To all the proud children: Great Job and Well done!

I would like to share with you today some of the common questions that parents might have in terms of their child's music education. The answers are from our principal Ms Flora Lim.

My child does not seem to participate in the class? Is he/she too young and not ready for music classes?

We don't really think it is a big 'problem'. As long as you can see signs of your child singing at home, dance or move to the rhythm of music, then I believe we have succeeded in providing them the right environment for neuron connections in their brain which is crucial in the musical development at the later age. 

Music training enhances a brain function that dies away. Studies have shown that early experiences of childhood determine which brain cells (neurons) will connect with other brain cells, and which ones will die away.

Because neutron connections are responsible for all types of intelliegence, studies also show that a child's brain develops to its full potential only with exposure to the necessary music enriching experiences. If not stimulated during early childhood, these neuron connectors die, and cannot be revived by any activity. We are thus looking at ways to develop the whole brain (left and right brain).
