Children are naturally drawn to music.
This makes music a great way to supplement and amplify a child's development and learning. Our programs bring out the music in every child, and play an important role in their social, emotional, and academic development.
Just like how music helped you learned the alphabet, we harness music to help your child learn the following hard and soft skills while having fun!
Rhyme and Poetry through songs.
Vocabulary building through songs and songbooks.
Experimenting with different vowels and consonants.
Number and sequence recognition through songs.
Spatial awareness through understanding musical structure and movement in music.
Sensorial development through exploring different vibrations produced by different sounds and instruments.
Exposure to different instruments and different forms of playing.
Music and movement through finger play.
Music and movement through dance.
Expressing emotions effectively through music and participating confidently through music.
Turn taking, teamwork, voicing out ideas and opinions, listening to others.
Improving physical coordination through dance and movement.
Singing and playing an instrument.
Engaging imagination to create sounds and melodies to call your own.

"It is clear upon the first meeting that minim is very good with teaching young children. Learning was made fun and engaging. The sessions inspired confidence and encouraged my son to be creative and challenge himself. He never wanted his hour-long piano session to end; he always wanted the teacher to stay longer and teach him more. It was a such a joy watching our son’s passion for the art of music grow in a caring and nurturing environment."
"My son started learning music from this class, and he likes this class very much. He learns the basic concepts of notes, instruments, and the way to play it. I am surprised that he can differentiate some of the notes. I am so impressed by their performance. This class definitely builds the foundation for him to learn the certain instruments easier in future."
"Minim music sessions include tools to promote self-confidence, self-efficacy, expressions, emotions, and empathy. Additionally, there were all sorts of movement, storytelling activities to motivate young children and express themselves through music using all the developmental domains.."
"I love that the class integrated musical literacy in a fun way, and that fact that it is not just singing songs or dancing. My daughter is much more interested in playing the piano at home after taking the afterschool class. I also love that the children get to play with different instruments."
"Mimim classes are upbeat, fun and interactive. Our school curriculum was incorporated into the music sessions, for example she promoted my students’ mathematical abilities by planning music activities that involved elements of counting, sorting and matching. The teaching method maintained student interest and engagement, and each lesson catered to several learning styles."
A warm welcome to the Minim family! It is our pleasure to have your child join us for music lessons and our honour to serve the community through quality and engaging music education.
We are passionate educators who have been working in the early childhood sector before becoming music teachers ourselves. We strongly believe that if the children are engaged, they will learn. With this in mind, we make a consistent effort to understand the interest of the children and incorporate it into our lessons. We also understand that every class has different needs and work together closely before and after your child’s lessons to brainstorm on effective ways to extend your child’s learning. Through this process, it is our pride and pleasure to see your children grow to be confident, creative and expressive learners in the classroom.
We look forward to creating lots of fun, memorable and musical experiences with you and your child!
