“MYC is a platform for any child who loves music and has the heart to sing. Both my kids are born with that passion and when I started to send them to MYC they just loved it and they enjoy being part of the MYC family. I highly appreciate the work of the dedicated staff and recommend it to any parent to send their children as it caters to all age groups as well. Thank you MYC!!“

“MYC allows us to provide our big family with a solid education in music – something we wouldn’t otherwise be able to manage, either financially or logistically! MYC also gives our kids a good peer group outside of school – singing together creates a lovely bond. Learning to sing beautifully is a skill and a hobby they can use throughout their lives, almost any time and any place! It’s very sociable and fun, and releases endorphins to boot! We are sure it will bring them much joy and fulifllment, life-long. We’re so grateful to MYC for giving our kids this opportunity.

“..singing not only helps forge social bonds, it also does so particularly quickly, acting as an excellent icebreaker. We’ve also shown that community singing is effective for bonding large groups, making it an ideal behaviour to improve our broader social networks. This is particularly valuable in today’s often alienating world, where many of our social interactions are conducted remotely via Facebook and Twitter.

 Singing has also been shown to improve our sense of happiness and wellbeing. Research has found, for example, that people feel more positive after actively singing than they do after passively listening to music or after chatting about positive life events. Improved mood probably in part comes directly from the release of positive neurochemicals such as β-endorphin, dopamine and serotonin. It is also likely to be influenced by changes in our sense of social closeness with others.”
