What are the other benefits of enrolling my child to the IME Learning Centre?
  • The child’s musical learning is supplemented by frequent museum visits to reinforce some of the concepts of theory. 
  • The Interactive music museum  provides an immersive engaging learning experience.
  • Apart from this, there are regular cultural events conducted as part of the Museum’s programming. The students of the Learning Centre get to visit these high-quality ticketed events for free, as we believe exposure to such events instills in them the art of appreciation and helps develop listening skills to grow in their musical journey. 
  • There are workshops conducted by International visiting artistes for the students of the learning centre.
  • The students get an opportunity to perform in front of senior and legendary musicians as part of the Annual Showcase event, which builds their confidence to perform in front of a gathering.
  • Exceptionally talented students get to represent IME in cultural competitions outside of the institution.
