Infants (12 to 23 months)
"Music classes are expensive, boring and useless. What's my child going to do with it?"
"My child's only an infant, can he or she really pick up music now?"

Did you know that research has shown that music training helps retain neuron connections that would otherwise die away after early childhood if not developed to it's full potential? These are the very same neurons that helps a child develop "spatial-temporal reasoning" which helps them do well in Math, Science and Engineering. (You can read more about the philosophy of MIM here)

The following courses have been developed to help guide new mothers in using music to work effectively with their infants. Infants will not only benefit from an improvement in awareness of sound, speech and reflex, but will also help to prepare and prime your infant's mind for more advanced studies. Our aim is to help further improve their IQ development, self esteem, creativity, emotional intelligence, musical geniushood, physical coordination and dexterity.

Toddlers (2-3 years old)
The first few years of a child's life help define the rest of their life. This was the main driving point behind the number of years we spent researching on delivering an entirely holistic approach to introduce formal music playing to children. With that, we developed our MIM philosophy.

The following courses will teach your child through interesting play, ensembles and innovative musical games. Not only will they learn basic playing techniques, but it will also help to nuture your child's creativity through music dictation, mapping and composition.

These techniques will help further develop the full potential of your child and train both sides of their brain. (More on the philosophy of MIM here)

This early exposure helps them tremendously in their future path in becoming a fine musician.

Reading and eye training play an important role in nurturing a good musician, just like 'written and spoken language', these two training must come hand in hand in acquiring musical literacy.

Ensemble training is given to enhance the ability to interact with other musician of a different age group. Through these training, then students are ensured of receiving a good and sound foundation in their music education.

In summary, this course prepares a student well into a good performing standard without omitting the fun and joy of learning the violin.
