Singapore · 11–13 May 2026 · Concorde Hotel Grand Ballroom

You were trained
to be a great musician.
Nobody trained you
to build a great career.

Classical music has always been more than sound.
What needs to evolve is not the music —
but how we bring it to the next generation.

Sound familiar?

Excellence in teaching
is not enough.
The future belongs to
educators who evolve.

Many talented teachers are still struggling —
not because they lack skill,
but because they lack direction, positioning, and a clear system.

"I've been teaching for years. Why do I still feel like I'm starting over every term?"
No roadmap. No system. Just repeating the same year on loop.
"Parents don't see my value. Students leave and I don't know why."
You're excellent at teaching — but nobody taught you how to communicate your worth.
"I love music education. But is this sustainable in 10 years?"
The passion is there. The direction isn't. That's the gap IMES closes.
"AI, Gen Z kids, branding — where do I even begin?"
The world is moving fast. You know you need to move with it — but how?
"I built IMES because I was that teacher. Passionate, trained, respected — and completely lost when it came to building a career that would last.

I don't want that for you. Three days can change the next ten years."
— Angelyn Aw, Founder · IMES 2026

What IMES gives you

Leave with clarity.
Not just inspiration.

01
Your 3–5 Year Career Roadmap

Stop guessing. Walk away knowing exactly where your teaching career is going — and how to get there.

02
The Trust That Fills Your Studio

Systems that build deep trust with students, parents, and institutions. Students who stay. Parents who refer.

03
AI Tools That Work For You

Practical AI tools built for music educators — lesson prep, communication, engagement. Less admin. More teaching.

04
Teaching That Keeps Students

High-engagement pedagogy that keeps students motivated, coming back, and growing.

05
Your Professional Identity — Defined

Know exactly who you are and what makes you different — so the right students naturally choose you.

06
A Global Community Behind You

Connect with music educators across Asia and beyond — peers, mentors, collaborators in your corner for life.

The Future of Music Education

Teaching music is no longer
just about playing the notes.

Today's children — Gen Z and Gen Alpha — learn differently. They feel differently. They connect differently. The music educator of the future understands the brain, the heart, and the whole child.

Neuroscience of Music Teaching

World-class professors bring brain science into your studio. Design lessons that work with — not against — how children actually learn, including those with dyslexia, ADHD, and Down syndrome.

Social Emotional Learning & Music Therapy

Music is one of the most powerful tools for emotional development. Learn how to integrate SEL and music therapy into everyday lessons — turning your studio into a place where children grow as human beings.

Teaching Materials for Gen Z & Alpha

Discover music teaching materials designed for today's learners — from toddlers age 3–5 across all instruments, to older Gen Z students. Engaging, relevant, and built for how modern children think and feel.

Communication That Builds Connection

How you speak to a child matters as much as what you teach. Learn modern communication approaches that build motivation, trust, and a lifelong love of music in every student.

Built by someone who lived it
Angelyn Aw
Founder · IMES 2026  |  Founder · Musique D'amour Academy
Co-Founder & Artistic Director · The Musique Loft, Singapore
Pianist · Pedagogue · Teacher Trainer

"I am not a business trainer who decided to help music teachers. I am a music teacher who figured out the business — and built this summit so you don't have to figure it out alone."

Trained under Prof. Ruth Nye of the Royal Academy of Music — a distinguished student of Claudio Arrau — Angelyn has built one of Singapore's most respected music educator communities. Her Teacher Advancement Program (TAP) guides educators across the region in pedagogy, leadership, and sustainable studio growth. Trusted across Singapore, Malaysia, and beyond, endorsed by universities from Korea to California, she built IMES because the summit she needed didn't exist.

What educators are saying

When the world's best music educators speak —
listen.

"I'm very impressed by your vision for IMES. As a professor of piano pedagogy, I believe a true revolution in music education is essential for the next generation. This is exactly why IMES is both timely and necessary."

Prof. Seung Kyung Lee
Visiting Professor of Piano Pedagogy, Kookmin University · Author of Little Shining Pianist
Prof. Ena Yoon
Dean, Graduate Music School, University of Suwon, Korea

"As Dean of Music at Suwon University, I've witnessed rapid change in music education. Educators must adapt, upskill, and prepare for the future. IMES is a unique, forward-thinking event. I strongly encourage all music educators to attend."

The Lily Lam Scholarship
Music Student for 20+ Years · Music Parent · Scholarship Contributor
"For more than twenty years, music was my journey — and then my son's.

Today's young teachers carry something precious. They chose music education not because it is easy — but because they believe classical music still has something extraordinary to offer the world.

This scholarship is my way of walking beside them. Because when a teacher grows, every child in that room grows with them."
— Ms. Lily Lam

Having experienced the power of music education as a student and as a mother, Ms. Lily Lam knows what a great teacher can awaken in a person. This scholarship is her way of giving that forward.
