Education

Music uplifts and inspires

Through our education programs, inspiring teachers provide space for the joy of learning music. We nurture children's spirits while they learn important life skills.

Practice makes perfect.

Teamwork makes the dream work.

Together we can make a difference.

Youth Orchestra (MIMYO)

The MIM Youth Orchestra (MIMYO) is currently the only after-school symphony orchestra program in Nevada County for string, woodwind, brass, and percussion players ages 8-21. Our musicians work on classical repertoire in weekly rehearsals and give two public concerts each year, all in a friendly, nurturing environment.

Music in the Schools

Many Nevada County schools lack the resources to provide a music education program. MIM’s Music in the Schools program perpetuates a life-long love of music and all the benefits of learning how to play an instrument and being involved in an orchestra through two offerings: Music for Young Minds and First Note Music Classes.
