The new school year for the Cayman Music School starts on 10 September and the institution is making strides to make it possible for everyone to enjoy the benefits of learning music with the help of scholarships.
The programme means that anyone who shows musical promise can attend the Cayman Music School, even if they may not have the personal funds to do so.
“Once a scholarship form is filled out, the candidate will then practice for free with a teacher for a period of time, after which it is then decided how much money they are eligible to receive,” noted Inna Kazakova, owner of the Cayman Music School.
A recent fund-raising event was held at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman to assist with the scholarships offered by the school. This was supplemented by a cross section of supporters from within the Cayman Islands community. Registration for the new school year at the Cayman Music School begins on 7 September from 9am to noon.
“This year we have some new programmes,” said Mrs. Kazakova, who revealed that the school would also be offering a music technology and recording protocols class. She added that there will also be music classes for children from 1-4.
She shared some interesting facts about music and how it affects the lives of children.
“Research has shown that test scores of students who take part in music instruction surpassed students with no music training,” she said. “It also documented that most chief officers and legislators around the world credit musical instruction as a child as having helped them to develop character and leadership skills. We know that youngsters who are rhythmically skilled also tend to better plan, sequence and coordinate actions in their daily lives.”
The Cayman Music School has become synonymous with excellence in musical training for youth in the Cayman Islands, with many Merits of Distinction in the Trininty College Music Examinations and some 25 gold medals in the National Children’s Festival of Arts.
Mrs. Kazakova said she was excited about the upcoming year and what students could look forward.

Congratulations to Ms. Inna Kazakova for establishing the Cayman Music School and highlighting clearly the advantages of music education from the Kindermusik program to lessons for advanced students.
