MISSION
MIMA's mission is to build and celebrate community
by inspiring and transforming people through music.
PROGRAMS
MIMA offers free music-making workshops in communities around the world,
and trains young leaders to lead these workshops in their home communities.
GOALS
MIMA teaches people to create new works of Art and celebrate their global heritage.
MIMA's goal is to unlock the creative potential of individuals within a group
and empower groups within a community.
METHODOLOGY
The MIMA Method is a proprietary approach to teaching classes,
developed by MIMA teachers and implemented in classes around the world.
The MIMA Method has four basic steps: inspire, transform, create, and celebrate.
It is as much a mindset and a way of interacting with the world,
as it is a set of exercises and steps.
The exercises are designed to teach traditional musical skills such as rhythm, pitch and melody,
while also having a deep emotional effect on individuals.
